Add a few commonly compared timezones by default. I should be able to load this and get to work, without setup.
common for you != common for everyone else. i live in japan, i would have absolutely no need for some random us / europe comparison

#92Nice! I saved to my iPhone Home Screen. However, the icon was a black box with a white T. When I tapped to save it showed a much nicer black box with yellow swirl - looks like an icon file is missing.

#93Congratulations 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?
your questions are literally the reason why internet is not what it used to be. not everything needs to be about money, people can do things out of their own interest and needs
If you look at his profile and look at his about, then you know why he’s asking this.

#94This is really great! One feature I would love to see on this is link sharing. Just encoding data in the URL to share with others. Maybe adding a custom label to each timezone so international groups can easily keep track of team times!
came here to request this! Then I can share it with my company and we can have all our offices listed in one URL!

#95It seems not to have knowledge about CEST - Central European Summer Time. I am always hesitant when using this term since many are unaware of it, but writing CET while refering to the current (summer) time is technically wrong. I wonder if the user interface somehow can illustrate this.

Fair point. These are still valid questions whose answers could unblock people who are stuck in a analysis paralysis

#97Nice, clean UI. What's the tech stack behind?

#98It says Hanoi belongs to Thailand. That can't be correct.

#99There is a similar free iOS app called “Synchronize” that I use for the same purpose.

Can you name a country that is currently observing Central European Summer Time?
