Show HN: The Alphabetical Clock
- JaredCampbell 6mo agoHATE :-)
- secretdark 6mo agoI made an alphabetically-organised clock. I am sorry.
- setnone 6mo agoIt's fine. Made me think of alphabetical organization, if you could sort an alphabet by any meaningful order rather then, well, alphabetical
- seanhunter 6mo agoThis is spectacular. Nice work.
- testudovictoria 6mo agoAs you should be. I look forward to more of this nonsense.
- comchangs 6mo agoThis is the kind of thing that's completely useless and I absolutely love it. Bookmarked.

- Flockster 6mo agoGreat idea! I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).
- addandsubtract 6mo agoThanks, Satan. Please don't give French people any ideas.
- franze 6mo agoSuper Cool, Love it. I love new clock designs, here is my try https://triclock.franzai.com/ https://triclock.franzai.com/
- seanhunter 6mo agoI love your clock btw.
- vintagedave 6mo agoThis is really cool, even better than the post, IMO (sorry OP!) One question: when the second hand resets from 60->0, it visually jerks as the triangle moves. After the smooth movement, gradients, the cool multicolour fill, it feels very odd. Any way of smoothing that one out? Animating the flip back to zero? I do understand it's a one-way line not a circle...
- Thundernerd 6mo agoLove the look of that! Really cool
- perilunar 6mo ago> "In Combined mode, every possible time (43,200 of them) is spelled out, sorted alphabetically" Why limit yourself? — make a 24-hour version and you have 86,400 possible times!
- aditmag 6mo agoNeed this irl
- asystemoffields 6mo agoUseless and delightful
- addandsubtract 6mo agoBy Ryan Bateman. Name checks out (on multiple levels).

- verstandhandel 6mo agoReminds me of Lord Vetinari's Clock: The clock in Lord Vetinari’s anteroom didn’t tick right. Sometimes the tick was just a fraction late, sometimes the tock was early. Occasionally, one or the other didn’t happen at all. This wasn’t really noticeable until you’d been in there for five minutes, by which time small but significant parts of the brain were going crazy. – Going Postal by Terry Pratchett, page 321
- iconicBark 6mo agoCool stuff!

- 2020science 6mo agoGot me thinking about novel clock designs in digital space - seems like something vibe coding could open the floodgates to :)
- maxeda 6mo agoThat reminded me of the existance of this page! https://clocks.brianmoore.com/ https://clocks.brianmoore.com/

- as1as 6mo agoThe clock is moving very dizzy, lol
- jesse23 6mo agoWonder which language's number words produce the most scrambled day. Welsh might win — "un ar bymtheg" (16) is going to cause chaos.
