Very nice. I'll list a feature I've always wanted but haven't seen on timezone converters.
A map of timezones, which will either highlight the location entered, or allow you to select the timezone.
Saves a few keystrokes.

#102I'm most impressed by the domain name. How much does time.fyi cost you?
I saw dictionary word on non main tld for something like $125 somewhere and would bet somewhere there.

#103Looks great and works smoothly! Is there some way to chose a date in the future?
I use https://timezonewizard.com/ almost daily to find feasible meeting times over 3-4 timezones globally, sometimes some days in the future.

#104Nice UI, but I got used to googling "14:00 Germany time in Los Angeles", for example.
Assuming you live in Germany you could type “14:00 in LA”

#105It 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.
Can you name a country that is currently observing Central European Summer Time?
I'm guessing "no" in the winter.

#106It says Hanoi belongs to Thailand. That can't be correct.
It's because their official time zone is "Asia/Bangkok". It must be getting it from there.

#107So after comparing time zones, which is your favorite?

No country. But I could not find it when I searched for it. I should be able to compare with it, I think.

#109This is really cool! Found a small bug - when you add a second card, the second card displays a pill with the total time difference between the first card and second card. When you switch the order of the cards by dragging, the pill remains on the same card so it's basically showing the total time difference in reverse. Clearing the cards and starting over with the switched order but by creating each card again results in the pill being displayed on the correct card.

That's not a bug, that's a feature. It shows the pills based on the highlighted card. Click a different card, and the "pills" change.
