Brilliant! Thanks for this. Being someone who lives in Asia and interacts with clients(potential clients) in the Americas, I often find it difficulty to select a timeslot for a meeting. This tool will help a lot. A Mac Version(Menu bar item) would be awesome

Feature suggestions: - 12/24 hour setting should be detected based on browser locale. - Colon symbol is broken on Firefox + Chrome for me in Linux (Shows U+FE55 symbol). - Ability to toggle showing all cards in a single column layout so you can see the sliders position relative to each other more easily.

Yes, I'd prefer a single column like the experience on mobile

Awesome tool! Some minor feedback for what it's worth - after moving the slider bar to change the time, I went looking for a button along the top something like "Reset to Now", and it took me about two seconds to realize this reset button was in each time widget frame.

Looks very slick. Using this on an ipad. A few comment... Moving the time slider also moves the zone widget. It would be nice if night/day is indicated on the sluder, maybe using subtle colors. Reason: The main reason I would use such an app is to know if my clients are awake.

Great work! I've looked for this kind of thing before but found only the usual sea of spam and semi-functional tools.

Yours is really good, simple and clear.

One suggestion I have is maybe show a bit more prominently if the dates end up being different? Could be easy to miss.

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?

> It will be really tough to rank this on Google

I can't help but see this as Google's failure, not OP's.
