The user interface seems to assume someone isn't awake across midnight, which doesn't make much sense to me; like, if you want to try to coordinate a meeting with me, and you expect me to be functional during it, it really needs to be scheduled between 2pm and 4am, but I can't enter that time range due to how this slider works :(. (Speaking of which, it is nearing 5am, so I should probably start heading to sleep.)

I tried some major cities around the world and it’s hit or miss. E.g. Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul and Sidney are all missing. Edit: Okay, the locations are fetched from Google Map’s auto complete service, with only the top five results, so when I enter say Beijing I get unhelpful results like some Beijing Pie House in Alhambra, CA. Probably want to limit to cities if possible, no one is entering local street/establishme…

Why would it use Google Maps instead of the usual time zone database cities?

Weird.. It even found my hometown, which is a random town of 15k people in Germany.
