Determining the start of the next business day in Oh Dear original

Feb 8th 2021 by Freek Van der Herten – 9 minute read

When a site is down, Oh Dear sends a notification every hour. Since last year, our notifications can be snoozed for a fixed amount of time (5 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, one day).

In this blog post, I'd like to share some of the code that powers this feature. We'll focus on how the start of the next workday is calculated.
