Hey Product Hunt! I'm Avinash, a solo developer in India, and I built PublicHolidaysEU. The problem: every European country has a different holiday calendar, and the best long weekends hide in the gaps. A Thursday holiday plus one Friday of leave gives you four days off, but nobody tells you which days are worth taking, and the same trick works differently in Germany, Spain and Poland. So I built a Leave Optimizer. Pick your country and how many leave days you have, and it finds the combination that gives you the most days away. With 20 leave days in Germany in 2026, it finds 38 days off. Around it: a Family Vacation Planner (school holidays plus bridge days), country comparisons, calendar subscriptions that update themselves, and a free widget any site can embed. Every date comes from official government sources. No account, no ads, no cookies. What's missing, honestly: you can't pick your state or region yet, which matters most in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and school holidays only cover 5 countries so far. Both are next on my list. Question for you: if you work or travel across European countries, which country's holiday calendar has caught you out?
