API to check if today/certain date is a public holiday

fits the bill?

[soulchild37]

Cool! Didn't knew this existed, sadly my country is not listed there, will contact them for this.

Which country?

[soulchild37]

Malaysia

[rubythis]

OK, thanks. I found a good source but doesn't include Malaysia...I'll keep looking.

[rubythis]

Is this for the US, or any arbitrary country? Does it take the country as a param?

[soulchild37]

Good question, multiple country support would be an awesome addition. Yes, can pass country as a param.

Difficulty of the implementation would be gathering public holiday info for different country as it would change every year.

if you have to ask - you won't get far.

They told you what they want - now go build something in your vision. Once you have users they will tell you what they want.

[rubythis]

What are you talking about? I am just finding out what people want.

It's not my vision.

And, besides that, I already launched the service. That's pretty far for 1 day.

Seems far more sensible to me to gather more information from the original idea giver before going off to build something.

Thanks. I thought that is the job of a developer or even a "hacker", as the case may be.
