Excited to share my first Flask web app, built to help you maximize vacation days by strategically planning around weekends and holidays!
Key Features:
Optimize Vacation Days: Get the best days off based on your preferences (extend weekends or maximize time off).
Visual Calendar: See weekends, holidays, and optimized days at a glance.
Export: Download your vacation days as a .ics file for your calendar.
Dark Mode: Switch themes to match your style.
Why I Built It:
I struggled with planning vacation days effectively and saw an opportunity to learn Flask while solving this problem.
What I Learned
Flask Basics: Setting up routes, handling forms, and rendering templates.
Templating with Jinja2: Passing data from the backend to the frontend.
Working with Dates: Manipulating dates and calculating date ranges in Python.
Frontend Skills: Improved my HTML, CSS, and JS skills, especially with Bootstrap.
Debugging: Learned how to read error logs and debug issues both locally and on a live server.
User Experience: Importance of making the app user-friendly and intuitive.
