Love that you’re prioritizing flexibility without the HR bloat. Syncing with Slack + GCal is a huge win. Curious: any unexpected feedback from early teams that shaped your roadmap?
Thanks so much, really appreciate it! So far, feedback has been pretty aligned with what we expected, which is reassuring. A few things, like export options and Slack-related improvements, got bumped up earlier than planned, since they came up more often. Doing a few discovery sessions before launch definitely helped shape the core experience early on.
Congrats on launching Birdie — love the focus on simplicity and tight integrations! Curious if you’re considering adding any kind of usage insights or team trends in the future? Excited to see how it evolves!
Thanks so much, really appreciate the kind words! Insights and reporting are definitely on our radar. We haven’t finalized exactly how they’ll work yet, but we know it’s important for teams to understand things like leave patterns, availability, or approval bottlenecks over time. If there are specific metrics or views you’d find useful, your feedback would be really helpful. We’re always open to shaping this with real feedback.
About
We're building Birdie to make leave tracking simple for small teams, without the clutter of legacy HR tools. It starts with time off, but we're growing it into a modern open-source HR platform that scales with your team
