The list of TZs should sort naturally, not on order of TZ addition.

#142Not what I was expecting haha. Interesting implementation! Seems super helpful and +100 for the great domain name too.

#143cute, good job.
some color indication on the cards could be nice to make it more visually obvious whether its day or night

#144In the same domain I used for years timebuddy https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

#145Awesome tool! Some minor feedback for what it's worth - after moving the slider bar to change the time, I went looking for a button along the top something like "Reset to Now", and it took me about two seconds to realize this reset button was in each time widget frame.
I kind of agree that the "reset to now" button should be in the global context, as resetting each timezone to now separately doesn't make as much sense.

I disagree, I want them shown in the order I add them, not in order of how far from the UK they are.

#147Looks very slick. Using this on an ipad. A few comment... Moving the time slider also moves the zone widget. It would be nice if night/day is indicated on the sluder, maybe using subtle colors. Reason: The main reason I would use such an app is to know if my clients are awake.
Oooh, that's a nice idea.

#148Very neat. Reminds me of the Overlap app by Moleskine Studio: https://moleskinestudio.com/support/overlap/introduction/ove...
Great UX but only available as an app. You have the advantage of being on any platform and able to create share links.

#149This looks great. Thank you for building and sharing it. I have a small feedback here. I entered Kathmandu, Nepal and Hamburg, Germany. The time difference is -4:45 hours. The app shows me -4:75h. Which I think is a bug? Thank you
Tried the same and it shows "-4.75h" with a dot, not a colon.
As 4.75 hours translates to 4 hours and 45 minutes, it's correct, maybe not intuitive at first glance.

#150I've been using World Time Buddy for years - https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ It allows for a calendar view and shows multiple cities together. It's excellent for figuring out a time slot for a team when everyone is living in a different timezone.
I was thinking of this site as well, showing the different time lines and how they offset according to the time difference. Very neat. Just couldn't remember the domain name.
The design is a bit dated as it's not optimized for higher res screens, everything is quite small. I guess people can zoom in.
How do they make money though? I don't see ads or sign up page for extra features. Running this service since 2011, have to pay for hosting fees etc.
