What this demonstrates
Small internal apps that save an owner hours of admin.
- Live UK bank holidays from the GOV.UK feed, with a clearly labelled bundled snapshot if it cannot be reached
- Region-aware working-day maths: weekends and the chosen region’s bank holidays are never counted as leave
- A team calendar with leave bars, half days and clash detection against a limit the owner sets
- A pro-rata statutory allowance (5.6 weeks, 28-day cap) with the working shown for each person
- Everything saved in the browser with no account or backend, a starting point for a custom internal tool
