So intuitive and simple, it's hard to imagine this representation of time zones hasn't been conceived of before. But perhaps that's the definition of "genius"...
T_T that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me

#142You could make it lighter by removing even hour marks, like so https://codepen.io/kirillmyshkin/full/dyRQOda
Oh that's nice and light indeed!

#143I wish I could have this on my Apple Watch, but Apple does not allow us to make our own watch faces.
Same! All I want is this on my Apple Watch. Hey Apple; Call Me?

#144Very cool! Similar idea: https://www.teamlab.art/w/clock/
That's the closest I've seen! 2004! Wowza!

#146you ever catch a flight from LAX to NEW?
You can rename them to 'GAH!' and ':)' in the Settings! Happy flying!

#147My OCD can't take the alignment of the second hand to the numbers. The "bottom half" should be dynamic based on current sunrise/sunset data. Better yet, let me decide my own waking hours and put that bit on the bottom. Might as well make the favicon dynamic as well.
Sorry for giving you the jitters... :( I like the favicon idea I might do that!

#148Bug: All other cities use the Phrase I type in the box. I.E.for NYC, If I type JFK, it shows JFK on its hour hand. But the local time always shows LOS for me even if I type SFO. It should show SFO, as typed.
I've just removed the name on the local time hour hand entirely

#149Instead of dividing by two equal halves day and night, make this dependent on sunrise and sunset of the location, would be helpful to know at a glance the actual day hours and night hours
I’d love that this too. It’s one of the little details I’ve gone to appreciate about my Apple Watch, how all the day night features (at least seem to, I’ve not exhaustively debugged it) use correct day, night, twilight, etc, based on my current location.

#150Two ideas to consider adding to this cool concept: 1. Could there be an option to place 00:00 at the top instead of the bottom? It looks like both positions have been used for analog 24 hour clocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial 2. Could there be an option to set the background to be a polar-projected world map ( e.g. United Nations emblem) that rotates to align with the turning of the hour hands?…
Another consideration might be to switch 24 to 0 or 00. I've seen a lot of 24 hour clocks that use 24 and I'm not sure why this ever happened since there is no time in hour 24. 12:15 AM/PM is a real thing for a 12-hour clock, but 24:15 isn't, as far as I'm aware. Unless some people consider that to be the very first hour of the day, but that seems like it would invite more confusion.
I used to work with a delivery route planning system that had 24:00 as midnight on one day, and 00:00 was midnight on the following day — the same “instant” but on two different days.
I forget the reasoning, but I remember it being described to me as both necessary and a reasonably common construct.
