Also might be useful to some: in Google Cal, you can show a secondary time zone on left hand side. Mine shows PT and CT for example.

I depends on this, but Google Calendar only lets you add a second time zone. They don't take up much space, I'd love to have 3 or 4. Has anybody figured out a way to do that?

Can you add a service worker and manifest to make this into a progressive web app that works offline? If there's a GitHub, I'd love to help add that feature because it'd be useful to me. If it's not public you can find me here https://github.com/gabesullice

This is going to be my daily driver to schedule our team meetings, great work! A feature request would be to give me the option to input the time apart from the existing slider input.

Congrats on finishing and launching the project. It is slick! Are you planning to monetize?

Nice little idea! As a slight aside I’m not sure where the timezone / city list has come from but it labels Hanoi as in Thailand (rather than Vietnam).

This is very nicely done. I've been a user of world time buddy and i don't have complaints but this is much slicker

"Oslo, Bouvet Island." :D

I got the same result.

Foe those that don't know, "Bouvet Island" belongs to Norway, and is a small island in the southern hemisphere. Oslo is NOT on Bouvet Island...

I guess the time zone database does not handle this case well

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
