A very neat, useful application.

I second some of the other feedback here (saving details, better labelling of on or off days, .ics export).

One extra feature you might want to add: ability to check a date in the future without having to scroll through the calendar months. So, in your wedding example, I could put in my shift details, the start date, and the date I'm checking, and it would tell me whether I'm free or not.

That was my original intention, but we designed for the general case instead of the specific. I think we will add this in eventually.

I see. I wouldn't consider it a priority request. And don't get me wrong: I think the site's functionality at the moment is great: quick, simple, straightforward. I've already emailed it to the three people I know who work shifts :-)
