Thanks for the clarification and feedback! As for the issues: - 0/O: I just fixed that by excluding I & O, and adding Y & Z. - Correct

Thanks for the feedback! As for the list of cities, I'll work on simplifying that somehow. The map idea is pretty cool, it'll take a bit longer to implement. I'll be working on that soon. San Francisco definitely exists in th

Done! I've excluded I and O, and added Y and Z instead. Thanks again!

Great feedback. Noted and I'll work on fixing it.

True, but not for all events. For example, webinars or global events like SpaceX's launch or the Olympics games. If a game starts at 2pm Tokyo time, I have no direct clue what that could be in my local time. If the game starts at N:00,

That'd work

by hhebbo 5y ago
True. I'm actually fine with that. Main thing is we find a good way to get rid of time zone math! :)

Got what you mean, I'll work on the letter ring. What I actually meant by "all users when they look at the same clock at the same time" is all users in different locations would see that time is the same in letters. For examp

Not for using the clock no, charging people for reading time would be ridiculous :) The clock is only the first step to simplify time zone thinking. If people like to use this, I do have plenty of ideas on what to build on top of this.

Correct

by hhebbo 5y ago
Makes sense, that would also work. However, there is another case where the question comes: what is the best time for a meeting between San Francisco, New York, London, and Berlin for example? Here it becomes a bit challenging as we lost th

Done! Thanks for the feedback! This makes sense, I've received this feedback several times today. Would you like to give hTime a go and test it for some days? I'd love to hear some more feedback.

It's definitely challenging to influence people's behavior especially when it comes to something so essential like time and the clock. However, I believe dealing with time zones when working with distributed teams is actually more

Thanks for the clarification, makes sense.

What I mean is for example: India as you mentioned above in the list. On hTime https://thehtime.com/location?name=India+-+Mumbai the local time is with a 30-minute offset, and the global isn't following UTC. For St. Jo

Thanks for the detailed explanation. But as nixpulvis said, the clock doesn't remove the local times and replace them with UTC. That's not the idea. The clock actually brings the best of both local times and UTC together in one cl

Not at all, thanks for asking and the nice wishes ;) The Internet Time, Beats, is a completely new time/clock system. It’s unclear what 964 for example means. With this clock, I’m using the same time/clock system we all know well

by hhebbo 5y ago
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! May I ask why do you find it confusing? I’d love to improve it.
49.
by hhebbo 5y ago
You're right :) The concept is to use both together. And that's what the clock is doing. It keeps local times, and adds UTC as a global time, then maps them together with location-offset-based rotating.

by hhebbo 5y ago
I believe I did the research. It's written in a blog post I published about time zones and the clock's concept https://medium.com/adventures-in-consumer-technology/introdu... . That's what I'm trying

by hhebbo 5y ago
Well, the clock is UTC. That's the whole concept :) The clock simply combines our local times with UTC in one clock face. To make UTC work for all time zones, it also rotates UTC according to your location on Earth. This means that the

Great feedback! Yes, that's exactly the concept of letters and numbers for local and global times :) I'll work more on the responsiveness of the interface. There is something to improve every day. Do you work across time zones? If

Your firm should use hTime then for scheduling :D They could use the "Meeting Time" https://thehtime.com/intersect feature to make sure it's a good time for everyone.

by hhebbo 5y ago
You're right. Firstly, I don't really understand why those countries decided to go with a 30-minute offset. It's adding even more confusion to the whole time zone and daylight saving thing. hTime utilizes UTC, hence the 30 mi

by hhebbo 5y ago
Yes, I'm hearing this more now about the letters. It obviously seems that the letters make it harder to comprehend which I understand. Do you think replacing letters with numbers would help? Then you'd see both local and global (U

by hhebbo 5y ago
Great feedback, thanks! Probably the letters makes it harder to comprehend. Actually there is no difference that writing 14:15Z. The main concept is to map UTC, or Zulu, to our local times in one clock where UTC rotates according to your lo

by hhebbo 5y ago
I like the explanation! I believe the 2 dimensional time zones are: local time zone, and global time zone. The local time zones already exist, the global time zone also already exists and it's UTC. hTime puts both in one clock so the r

The issue with Internet Time is that it used a completely new approach of time. It's hard to know what 965 means in our local time. The idea here is to simply keep the 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds and add UTC to that making the clo

by hhebbo 5y ago
Nice feedback. Probably the letters make it harder to follow. I'll find a solution for that. I agree with you on knowing how to translate UTC to your time quickly, but one of the situations teams get into is: what is the best time to m

by hhebbo 5y ago
Great feedback. I agree on the point of understating the local times of your attendees. hTime does that as well in the "Meeting Time" feature https://thehtime.com/intersect . Here you can choose the working-hour av
