New API Corrects China's Adjusted Workdays

The article explains that mainstream holiday APIs (Calendarific, HolidayAPI.com, Abstract API, Nager.Date) return only official Chinese holidays and miss China's adjusted weekend workdays (调休补班). Using the State Council notice for 2026 (Nov 4, 2025), the author demonstrates that several 2026 weekend dates (e.g., 2026-02-14) are officially designated workdays. To address this, the author published a Global Holidays API on RapidAPI covering 501 countries and explicitly including China's adjusted workdays, sourced from State Council notices and manually maintained. The post includes usage examples, feature comparisons with competitors, and pricing tiers (free and paid plans).

• Mainstream holiday APIs (Calendarific, HolidayAPI.com, Abstract API, Nager.Date) typically return only official public holidays and do not handle China's adjusted workdays (调休补班).
• China's 2026 holiday schedule (cited from a State Council notice dated 2025-11-04) lists multiple adjusted weekend workdays, including 2026-02-14 as a workday.
• The author published a Global Holidays API on RapidAPI that covers 501 countries/regions and includes China's adjusted workdays as exclusive data, maintained from official State Council notices.

Feature request management in Plane

Plane's blog post explains how its Intake feature provides a review layer (Triage) for incoming feature requests before they enter the project workflow, allowing Admins and Members to accept, decline, snooze, or mark duplicates. The Customers feature with Customer Requests preserves customer-specific demand evidence, linking individual customer asks to shared Work Items. The guide details how Product teams can assess demand breadth, customer context, and delivery constraints separately from prioritization decisions. Intake Forms, Intake Email, and the Customers feature are available on Plane's Business plan.

• Plane's Intake feature routes incoming feature requests into a Triage state outside the project's regular state groups, where Admins and Members can accept, decline, snooze, or mark items as duplicates.
• Requests can be submitted through in-app Intake, public Intake Forms, or Intake Email; Intake Forms and Intake Email are available on the Business plan.
• The Customers feature, including Customer Requests, is available on Plane's Business plan and preserves customer-specific demand with properties like name, description, email, website, employees, industry, stage, contract status, and revenue.
