Earlier quoted context omitted.

Pretty interesting visualization. I wonder if you could indicate better that the dial can be interacted with via the mouse?

You should be able to grab any of the cities on the dial and spin them with your mouse. If that doesn't work, could you share your device details? (also if it does work, if you don't mind confirming). Thanks

Yes, it absolutely works. I meant that this is currently not intuitively discoverable :)

A bit disappointed it doesn't update the time automatically. Can't really see a reason why it wouldn't. Then it could be put on an old phone and perched on your desk. Would need full screen and keep screen on, both just a few lines of code.

Update below ..

Beg your pardon - does update it. But I got a refresh button, and not updated. Confused.

It gets the time wrong (says it’s 4pm in London but it’s 5pm). Edit: fixed now. I’m not sure that it works with shading day and night like that — day length is different in different places. Maybe colour the city by day/night instead of the dial?

so is London time working fine now?

Yeah, but I wonder if maybe there’s a bug if you load the page bang on the hour. (It was bang on the hour when I first loaded it.)

The other two cities were out by an hour when London was out by an hour.
