That's an interesting use case! :)


Yep I appreciated the “geek” that hacked that up. I hope there was some humour behind it. The “normal” thing would be to get a wall clock and wind it back 15!


How would that work, can you elaborate more please?


Perhaps my phrasing was incorrect.

Let's say I choose a country, United States, and then I'll be able to see a 24-hour clock showing Circadian Rhythms.

Perhaps, using precise location via ip address is better.


That’s neat!


For the info, I just fixed the time zone offset for Nepal in the algorithm. Check it out here https://thehtime.com/location?name=Nepal+-+Kathmandu and please let me know if it works.


The idea is not to abolish time zones, the idea is to add UTC to the clock so we have local times (time zones) and a global time (UTC) in one clock. With added features like "Meeting Time", we can defiantly find the best time to call and making sure it's not 4am in the other place.


Sorry for that, I'll work on improving the cookie settings and experience.


Just add a “Decline all” button right next to the accept button.


Got it, will do in the next couple of days. Thanks for the suggestion.


Thanks, orbital time isn't final yet. Those are the initial thoughts to solve it. The approach of using the Sun's location might work. Yes, many corner cases, but somebody has got to solve them, this is the start.


Thanks for the feedback! What are the confusing part except for the tabs? I'd love to work on that and improve it.


I just fixed the 30-min offset for Newfoundland, here is the fixed time https://thehtime.com/location?name=Canada+-+St.+John%27s


Great! I’m delighted that you’re exploring other ways to describe time zones and offsets given how complicated it all is.


We gotta start somewhere and improve on the go :)


Thanks! Yes I got the feedback on the responsiveness. I'll work on fixing thats.
