Stretch My Time Off – An Algorithm to Optimize Your Vacation Days
Hey HN! I built StretchMyTimeOff as a quick experiment using Cursor (Anysphere's AI code editor) and GPT-4o to see how far AI could go in building a simple, functional site. What it does: The site helps you get the most out of your vacation by suggesting optimal days to take off around national holidays, maximizing long breaks with minimal vacation days, anywhere in the world and for any calendar year. It's an idea I've had for a while, and building the algorithm with GPT was a fun challenge. Any feedback or ideas I'm all ears :)
Stretch My Time Off – An Algorithm to Optimize Your Vacation Days launched on November 12, 2024 with 358 votes, #89 of 4,990 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Stretch My Time Off is a free tool that helps users maximize vacation time by suggesting optimal days to take off around national holidays and weekends. It works for any location worldwide and any calendar year, calculating the most efficient way to create long breaks while using fewer vacation days. The site was built as an experiment using AI development tools to demonstrate what's possible with automated code generation.

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
