This is extremely useful. Thanks for sharing. Are there future features planned? It could be a big thing.

What else would you like to see? I have some other time related tools that I will be launching but would love to hear what you have in mind.

I was thinking it would be cool to add another slider for day of the year. That way you can see how the differences change as local timezones roll through their own daylight savings time or other adjustments. For example, right now Asuncion Paraguay is +3 hours ahead of Chicago U.S. but in April it will be only one hour ahead.

Looks great, unfortunately I am having challenges using it on iPhone Safari: trying to engage the sliders moves the cards around instead.

I've always been a fan of the https://everytimezone.com interface, which seems like it may have been acquired at some point. Still works brilliantly though!

Also might be useful to some: in Google Cal, you can show a secondary time zone on left hand side. Mine shows PT and CT for example.

Link sharing would be useful. Here is a site similar to yours, albeit not as pretty. https://podfeet.com/webapps/time-shifter-clock/

Very useful! It would be nice to be able to share a set of timezones by sharing a URL with parameters.

Yeah, time.is supported that for a long time and was extremely useful for me.

isn't supported anymore?

This is a great tool. Thank you. As an international student in US with a lag of 10-12 hours with my home country, this will be very helpful in scheduling calls.

Thank you for reporting. I am looking into it.
