That seems confusing to me. It would be better if Zulip just added the local timezone to the time instead of modifying what you send to people. Do you mean it shows it in a hover or tooltip?
Seems like there should be deadly sins for certain fields, and one such deadly sin is for an instant messenger to change what you send to people.
- infogulch 2y agoIt appears that you have to type it in a specific format, and the localized time is displayed with different formatting than the rest of the message. See: https://zulip.com/help/global-times https://zulip.com/help/global-times > A date picker will appear once you type `<time`. > Our next meeting is scheduled for <time:2020-05-28T13:30:00+05:30> > A person in San Francisco will see: > Our next meeting is scheduled for Thu, May 28 2020, 1:00 AM. > While someone in India will see: > Our next meeting is scheduled for Thu, May 28 2020, 1:30 PM.

- tabbott 2y agoThat's effectively an API feature only: There's no button or typeahead for entering it. Zulip's version is a first-class feature with a compose box button and typeahead, designed to be convenient enough that humans routinely use it rather than typing "10 Pacific time".
- anderskaseorg 2y agoHere’s a message where you can see what this feature looks like (no login required): https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/101-design/topic/clock.20icons/near/1728695 https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/101-design/topic/clock... (Note that the sender opts in to this with a specific syntax; we don’t try to heuristically match anything that looks like a time.)
- INTPenis 2y agoYup that was how I imagined it, makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying.
