<p>Curious about how accessible these tests are in Europe. Living in a country (NL) that doesn't value annual checkups makes me assume detailed, preventative blood testing like this is hard, let alone possible to get in non-extreme situations.</p>

<p>> Apart from basic libraries like xp.css and paint.js, it's all original code.<p>I wouldn't say this constitutes "original code". AI agents are trained on open-source software; to apply them and present this project as your own work is misleading.</p>

<p>Nice tool! Some feedback:<p>- The subtitle telling me I can "stretch [my] time off from 20 days to 42 days" is quite misleading. This tool doesn't magically give me more vacation days.<p>- Much of the page isn't helpful (in NL there are 6 consecutive months without holidays), would suggest only showing months where "stretching" is possible.</p>

<p>By suggesting it's "mostly useful in the beginning" you are admitting that at <i>some</i> point they will copy+paste it to their project. So the convenience factor is a moot point.<p>I see the value, I just think that's an unrealistic price given the current features.</p>

<p>I'm not saying your observation is inaccurate, but as a society we _let_ these companies continue to do whatever they want without consequence.<p>1% of users in a data leak having their identities stolen or 1% of the cities in the world becoming uninhabitable due to heat isn't enough to demand action, what about 10%? Is 25% where we draw the line?</p>
