Clean, simple, intuitive slider UI
From 4 comments
Love this! Looks nice (I can't design it), works smoothly. Kudos on you for building something simple and just getting it out there. Universe knows, there are many bells and…
vidbina on HNThis is so intuitive. Huge props for coming up with the first ui for time zone comparison that has actually made sense to me immediately. Clicking a zone to make it the base,…
jsf01 on HNThat slider feature is so incredibly useful. I think I will use this many times per week. This is what I needed but didn't know I needed.
chris-orgmenta on HNGreat work! I've looked for this kind of thing before but found only the usual sea of spam and semi-functional tools. Yours is really good, simple and clear. One suggestion I…

Faster and slicker than existing alternatives
From 2 comments
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
noufalibrahim on HNThank you! I have replaced my previous bookmark of https://everytimezone.com/ with this one. Appreciate the simplicity of this one. :)

Mobile layout wastes vertical space
From 3 comments
Looks great! Well, except on mobile it wastes a lot of vertical space, able to fit only two records on a screen.…
out_of_protocol on HNWell done! I'd use this over what's out there. Suggestions: 1. On mobile, it's hard to see more than 2 times without scrolling. I think compress the vertical space more 2. Might…
getlawgdon on HNThere’s a lot of dead space. Maybe condense it so more timezones fit on the screen.

Incorrect city and country labels such as Belgrade, Hanoi and Oslo
From 3 comments
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…
nekasrbenda on HNIt says Hanoi belongs to Thailand. That can't be correct.
kaeruct on HNBug report: Typing Oslo, Bergen, or Trondheim shows "Bouvet Island" instead of "Norway". (Bouvet Island, while Norwegian territory, is an uninhabited arctic island.)

Slider moves cards on iPhone Safari
From 1 comment
Looks great, unfortunately I am having challenges using it on iPhone Safari: trying to engage the sliders moves the cards around instead.

Shareable links with saved timezone selections
From 4 comments
This is really great! One feature I would love to see on this is link sharing. Just encoding data in the URL to share with others. Maybe adding a custom label to each timezone so…
sampli on HNVery useful! It would be nice to be able to share a set of timezones by sharing a URL with parameters.
kseistrup on HNWell done! I'd use this over what's out there. Suggestions: 1. On mobile, it's hard to see more than 2 times without scrolling. I think compress the vertical space more 2. Might…
getlawgdon on HNLove this. A link generator to share a state would be fantastic.

Input a specific time by typing
From 2 comments
Welldone, this is very useful! From my use cases (order of wantedness): 1. It would be nice to be able to type in a time rather than using slider. 2. A flag to say whether day…
helsinkiandrew on HNThis 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…

Future or past date selection
From 3 comments
The only thing I can see missing that I would use would be the ability to select a date in the future or past. Now this might be my ignorance of the subject area but it's…
account-5 on HNLooks great and works smoothly! Is there some way to chose a date in the future? I use https://timezonewizard.com/ almost daily to find feasible meeting times over 3-4 timezones…

Daylight saving time awareness
From 2 comments
This is very helpful! Often I need to coordinate meeting times across multiple timezones and this will safe me a lot of headache. It would be nice if it was day light savings…

Reset to now button
From 2 comments
Being in Phoenix as a remote worker for an East coast org, I love this. PHX does NOT do daylight savings which very few tools observe. TY I wish only that you would add a RESET…
bellboy_tech on HNAwesome tool! Some minor feedback for what it's worth - after moving the slider bar to change the time, I went looking for a button along the top something like "Reset to Now",…

Questions
Will it be open sourced?
From 2 comments
Amazingly pretty! I'm not international enough to have a personal use case for this, but I admire the skill that went into this. Are you open sourcing this at some point?
tomosterlund on HNVery well designed. I'd recommend saving the current state in the URL parameters, so you can share it (or save the link for yourself). Also, open-sourcing it would be cool.

I like the way this tool looks, but I am a big fan of the "row-based" designs from these other tools for comparing time zones. * Every Time Zone: time zone converter, compare…

Overlap by Moleskine
From 2 comments
Pretty cool, really like it. I have been using Overlap by Moleskine on iOS for a while: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/overlap-by-moleskine-studio/id1516950324
vishkk on HNVery neat. Reminds me of the Overlap app by Moleskine Studio: https://moleskinestudio.com/support/overlap/introduction/overlap-overview/ Great UX but only available as an app.…
