This is really useful and feels slick! I've been using https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html to see time zone differences, which seems clunky in comparison.

#152The location database has some extremely weird errors in it. For example, Belgrade is shown to be in Kosovo when it is in fact in Serbia. Similar for other Serbian cities.

#155Super nice. A feature request: for each time zone, show the offset to sun time. Helps with the question: will 8am be like I expect it to be ?
Useful for outdoors activities.

#156Seems many people have ideas for adding features. But nobody is really talking about whether they are using it in their day to day (or would use it).
My primary use case would be setting up a meeting across timezones, but my calendar app already shows me overlapping times.
Or knowing what time it is for family or a friend, but then that becomes second nature if you’ve been in different timezones for a while.
Or just seeing what time it is somewhere right now, but phones have multiple clocks, or a “what time is it in x?” search answers the question.
If the many suggested features are added, would you use it? How will this help you?

#157Love this, and will use this daily

#158Nice, clean UI. What's the tech stack behind?
Source code suggests Astro with React.

If you work with people across multiple timezones, it's really useful to be able to open a screen with a set of clocks and glance at the time in every relevant timezone.
If I just have https://time.fyi/timezones bookmarked, it seems to remember the timezones that are important to me. Definitely convenient and far easier than doing multiple searches or using a phone's multiple clocks(?).
This site is useful enough and it's a nice execution.

#160I like this and it’s immediately usable. May I ask you to make it so that I can reorder the boxes. Also could I have an option to have shorter boxes so that I can view 4 time zones without the need to scroll on a mobile screen?
