The URL parameter for seeing a time seems to be hardcoded assuming you're in America?

If I put in the suggested placeholder time of 11:38am (it is 2:12pm NZT at the time of writing), the timer tells me that the starting time is actually 5:38am which is very confusing for anyone international

I have found an example of a slightly rotated static element that I don’t hate.

Also this is ridiculous and fun. Love it.

I think it defaults to GMT + 0, aka Senegal / Guinea / United Kingdom.

If you could fork this and rename to "How Long You've Been Talking Non-stop in this Meeting..." and keep the timeline, I would use it daily.

It's either wrong by some offset for everyone, or it's 5hrs behind the UK.
