App: Vacation tracker

[PeerRich]

a simple app that lets people go on vacation easier (from start to date) which blocks out the calendar (creates an all-day OOO event).

it would also enable "away mode" which already exists and temporally remove people from team event types

a team owner would be able to see vacation status of team members

Date overrides enables all this in core; so not sure we need this 🤔 Side-thought is that date overrides could also deprecate away mode.

I am not quite sure how that would work? 🤔 am I trippin

So Date Override allows blocking out time on a specific date but only that date, non repeating - a Work Hour schedule is a weekly repeating block out time.

ok but what i refer to is an app that you just open and say "I am on vacation from 1th to 8th of September" and we do the rest

is not covered by date overwrites is it?

[emrysal]

That's a number of date overrides under the hood, maybe discuss with @Jaibles if there is a significant enough improvement to UX in this regard, but this very much should still use the same underlying logic we use for date overrides - on hold until 1.9 is released? (As it will depend on that logic)

oh this one should be after 2.0 easily. not a priority
