+I created this project out of a personal need to better manage my vacation days. As someone who loves to travel, I wanted a tool that could help me make the most of my time off by aligning it with public holidays. This project was coded using the Cursor IDE with the assistance of GPT-4o, and it is hosted on Vercel with Cloudflare providing additional services.

+- **Interactive Calendar**: Visualize your holidays and optimized days off in a user-friendly calendar.
+- **Responsive Design**: Works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
 
-```bash
-npm run dev
