This weekend was the timezone change ("Standard Time" to "Summer Time" in most of Europe), I remember working with https://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/ https://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/ and wondering how it would depict events if you want to use local time (and have the timezone change during the day), in theory when switching to summer time it would have to show a 23 hour day, and for standard time a 25 hour day.
I wonder how Google's timeline widget handles it too, on Google Calendar if I try to create an event on March 31, 2:00 AM CET, it will jump to March 31, 3:00 AM CEST. If I create an event starting at 1 AM and ending at 2 AM, it will change the ending to 3 AM (since 1 second after 1:59:59 CET is 3:00 AM CEST). When trying to change the end time, it would show a dropdown with 2:00 (1 hour), 2:30 (1.5 hours), which are incorrect since these times "don't exist". The next option is 3:00 (2 hours), which is also wrong because on March 31st, it took the clock that honored "local time" 1 hour to go from 1 AM to 3AM.
