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.

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

I was just thinking that. Why would the 12hr one be the default? The tool looks slick in general, however!

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"]]

The capital of Kosovo is Belgrade.

What do you mean? Belgrade is not even in Kosovo.

You're brave, dealing with time is often a discouraging and frustrating experience as a developer.

I did bookmark it and I'm curious to see the other features (coming soon), because sharing time-based events on some social platforms isnannoying, and having a way to link to a specific time and date and having each user see the time relative to their timezone in a simple interface would be nice.

There’s a lot of dead space. Maybe condense it so more timezones fit on the screen.

I actually quite like the amount of dead space, as most time conversion tools I have used have been filled to the gills with information whereas I am typically only looking for one or two specific data points. To be honest, with many time conversion apps I often even struggle to distinguish a meaningful header, main content, and footer as they will often resemble some sort of industrial ticker. I know, different tool…

I’m not saying add more things and information. I’m saying the opposite - remove things (white space) so I can look at more than three timezones changing (which is my use case as I run a ticketing site with venues around the world).
