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.

I can't see the blue shades in the daylight clock with µblock running (in Chromium on Linux), so at first I didn't understand what the purpose of the website is, but it looks great in an incognito window — and thus without µblock — in the same browser.

Hi. Thanks. Don't know how to address that. Must be something to do with the XHR for the timezone info.

Did you change anything? It works now, outside of incognito mode, with µblock running.

That's good. No, nothing changed

I hate when software gets creative…

I like it! Two feature requests: deep linking to specific cities/coordinates/whatever, and geolocating me so I don't have to use the search bar first thing.

Wow, great way of visualising this. I recently moved from Istanbul to Stockholm so this kind of stuff has been on my mind quite a lot. What I’d also love is the ability to see how the daylight clock for different times of year - would love to see Stockholms graphic for midsummer or winter, for example.

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).
