It's great. The 12, 24, and light clock visualization is particularly good. In terms of feedback, only one thing: The first thing I tried didn't work. This was dragging the map so I could explore the effect of latitude on day length in both hemispheres. It appears to only support the case where the crosshairs are near an actual city (which is not possible deep down in the southern hemisphere).

This might benefit from the code at https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4597134 , which uses lat/long directly.

I like that. Big fan of D3

Just finished this little application that shows the current time in any zone and a sort of animated daylight clock that adjusts according to map coordinates. Value any feedback and a few social shares if it's any good. Thanks for looking.

This is absolutely brilliant! One thing what I would love to see, next to the timezone info is the actual timezone in UTC+2, etc. format. That way you could for example immediately see why does Portugal and Spain have a one difference in sunsets the western parts, for example.

The clock took me a while to understand, but then I realized it's much more intuitive than I assumed and I was reading too much into it. Here's what's going on: - At the center of the map is the crosshairs. Whereever this crosshair is, all other information will be a function of this location. - The inner analog clock shows timezone-legal official time at the crosshairs on a traditional, 12-hour clock dial. - The out…

I really, really like the clock visualization. Makes me wish for a desktop utility with just the clock.

A mouseover quick summary of the differences between the times would be really useful.
