Offtogether - find free days across borders

I was thinking … wouldn’t it be great to have an overview of the free days available between several countries?

The Idea for the app came while talking to my friends online and trying to figure out when we could find a prolonged weekend where we could meet. As we are spread across Europe, it was a bit difficult in finding the bank holidays of each country, cross match them and provide them in a form that we can discuss. Of course the first thing that came to mind was good old pal Excel. Needed nevertheless a bit of time gathering all data , importing it in a spreadsheet and make it available to all.

That brings me to the app OffTogether available via the link : offtogether.tryfailgrow.info.

The app was build in order to avoid the tedious steps mentioned previously.

You can easily search for up to 6 locations free days and have a clear view what bank holidays are available in each country. For several countries, a county separation was needed and provided in the overview.
