Looks great! Well, except on mobile it wastes a lot of vertical space, able to fit only two records on a screen.

Would love to see pr. timezone AM/PM and Military time toggle. I personally not figured out how to mentally convert from one to another and usually this is one of my challenges as well.

I support the link sharing as well. Perfect for events, meetings and the like.

So good, very easy to use and not to much other stuff going on. Great job and super domainname.

I 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?

It's already draggable for me on desktop, not sure for mobile.

I'd love to see this with sun position. Maybe even change the brightness of the square too. Then you could visually see when all your meeting participants are in daylight.

Love this. A link generator to share a state would be fantastic.

I think the date selector is a must. My biggest timezone confusion happens during these two weeks when the US changes the daylight and the EU is not changed yet. So... during the two weeks in a year 9:00am SF time is not 18:00 EU time.

Nice (accidental/incendiary) Easter Egg - Belgrade shows up as "Kosovo - Belgrade". I suppose since "Kosovo is Serbia" it's...not...wrong...? Technically it's probably since there are two aliases for `Europe/Belgrade` ["Kosovo",["Europe/Belgrade"]] ["Serbia",["Europe/Belgrade"]]

I've got this too. Nice trolling if it's intentional

There is a 12/24 hour toggle. (It defaults to the wrong one, BTW.)
