Congratulations on the launch. Looks great! A couple of questions if you don't mind me asking: 1. Why did you build this tool when we have thousands of time zone comparison websites, apps and inbuilt functionality in smartphone time app? 2. Google already does this natively 3. It will be really tough to rank this on Google 4. Do you plan on monetizing this?

Some people just make stuff for fun, to learn a new skill, or to scratch a personal pain point.

#83Universe knows, there are many bells and whistles you could have tacked on, possibly dooming this project to stay in the "project shelf" for a much longer time.

#84Great UI design; clean, intuitive, and useful. Thank you for this! On a side note, I'd really like to know what broken mechanism aggressively downranks such quality community submissions. 67 upvotes in 2 hours, and only ranked 9th. Meanwhile, another post with fewer upvotes in more time is ranked 2nd. Something is very wrong here. I'd love to see more posts like this one, and fewer standard blog articles that are hit…

#85Technically it's probably since there are two aliases for `Europe/Belgrade`

#89Love this! Looks nice (I can't design it), works smoothly. Kudos on you for building something simple and just getting it out there.

If you click on the logo, it shows placeholders for many other time related tools the author has plans to implement like a meeting planner, scheduler, calendar and pomodoro timer etc. I'm happy that they took the MVP approach instead of waiting long to launch that perfect suite.
