How did you get .82 rectangles from light taking 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach Earth from the sun? Isn't that .8333... minutes?
You're right. Fixed, thanks!
It wasn't wrong before. The time varies from 8.178 to 8.456 minutes.

#62It would be fun to see this with local daylight hours mapped to the squares, so I could get a feel for where my consumption is at within "daylight" vs the whole "day" SunCalc is a good tool for this, if you're interested: https://github.com/mourner/suncalc (I've used it on a personal project, and the API was a little awkward but the results are good: https://daylight.website/ )
Most hackers are active outside of this time range.
Agreed, but still useful IMHO to get a sense of "where" you are in the day.

#63FYI: Hovering over the examples breaks the actual counter if the actual counter is less than the value of the hovered example counter. It causes the actual counter to be set to the value of the hovered example counter. https://imgur.com/a/bzamnie
Spotted it in the morning as well. Fixed, thanks!

#64Hey OP - are you able to live off of Notion Backup? How's business? How many people work on the project?
Still haven't fully launched it yet. It's only me, and it's not the only thing I do.

You should hover over the list items, not the individual rectangles. Also, it doesn't work on mobile devices, and I'm not sure what could be done about this.

#67This is great! I built something similar on itunes here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timeyet/id1613447823 I feel like tools like this are extremely valuable to those with time blindness from ADHD, Autism, etc...
Love the aesthetics of your app.

I'll read up on this, thanks for bringing it up!

#68Visitors on mobile devices can’t hover. Why not just show the examples all the time?
You mean rotating between examples every X seconds?

#70It is a good idea, but the layout hurts my eyes due to the Hermann grid illusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion
It wasn't intentional! I experimented with different colors, but seems like all of them produce this illusion :/ I'll see what I can do.
Rounded corners might help?
