Show HN: Synthetic Users that test your app, catch bugs, and provide feedback (synthetic.usejina.com)

Hey! In my last job I was constantly wondering when it would be best to take days off so I could enjoy the most days off in a row, so I made this tool!

It tries to schedule PTO around holidays so that you get the most consecutive time off while spending as few days as possible.

You can set some constraints, customize the holidays and define mandatory vacation days (in case your company mandates them).

If you try for 2025, you should see results for the rest of the year. If there are unscheduled days, it's because there isn't a particularly good period to take them off. (I should make this clearer in the site, to be honest).

Let me know if you have any questions or comments and hope you get value out of it!

Before clicking the link I thought to myself, "Hey, this is the type of thing that would be super popular in France!" (The French are rather notorious for figuring out how to make the best use of their bountiful vacation days.)

And lo! France is the default option. Well played!

Great! I use the user's timezone to try to guess the country, so it should work well for a lot of countries!
