    this is really neat. Was using or-tools to solve my friend's scheduling problems with coworkers.

    Do people solve business problems with OR-tools? I suppose yes, but what can you say about the real applications?

      In somewhat discrete domains with large combinatorial search spaces, I would argue they do. I built this for a conference planner SaaS, which felt very real. Probably have other use cases in routing, dispatching, staff scheduling, conference planning, shift assignment, warehouse picking, bin packing, fleet utilization, job-shop scheduling, matching supply and demand under constraints, etc.

    can the browser connect to a server to offload heavier calculations?
