The problem it solves

With team members spread across different countries, you're constantly guessing whether someone is out for a local holiday before you schedule a meeting or set a deadline. Googling holiday calendars for each country one by one is tedious, and it's easy to miss when two regions are off at the same time.

Who it fits

Remote operations managers or HR teams coordinating distributed teams across multiple countries.

How it works

  1. Every week, the system checks upcoming holidays for each country your team is based in.
  2. It looks ahead a set number of days so nothing catches you by surprise.
  3. It flags when more than one country has the same day off.
  4. The holidays are logged in Notion and your team is notified in Slack.

What you get

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
