#222A similar site I really like is https://everytimezone.com/ But I like how you can configure which timezones you want to see with this one.

the developer of the timezones.digital here. Yeah, he just stole our design
- The timezone search in the original app was laggy.
- It did not allow searching timezones by offset, e.g., 'GMT+5,' 'gmt-5,' etc.
- It did not allow timezone search by name, e.g., PST, EST, GST, etc.
- It requested location permission that seemed unnecessary.
- It was closed source.
I had been using your product for quite some time and only developed time.fyi to scratch my own itch. I will be open-sourcing it soon and planning on extending it beyond what it is today.
Having said that, thank you for your work on timezones.digital!

Re: Show HN: I made a tool to compare time zones
#225Congratulations 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?
your questions are literally the reason why internet is not what it used to be. not everything needs to be about money, people can do things out of their own interest and needs

#227I've been using World Time Buddy for years - https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ It allows for a calendar view and shows multiple cities together. It's excellent for figuring out a time slot for a team when everyone is living in a different timezone.
I use also timeanddate.com. It suggests acceptable time slots and can be saved in favs with selected cities, i.e. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20...

#229I 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.
