Interesting. First time I hear about using Zulu for meetings. hTime is similar in a way, and as you mentioned aiming at making it more convenient by combining local and global (UTC) times together. It's a good idea to do the working la

Great feedback. I'll work on that. Thanks! Do you work across time zones yourself?

I hear you. The awareness of the where the hand stands still works for local hours though. When working across-time-zones and scheduling client meetings, the list of local clocks and emails to coordinate become a hassle quickly in my experi

Thanks for the feedback. The main concept is to keep using 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds system and build the clock on top of that. Cool clock you have there as well.

yup, always

ah sorry, that's CET (not CST) to CEST. That's Europe Central Time to Europe Central Summer Time. I believe we better off using UTC only.

Well somebody has to do it, otherwise we're stuck

I'd love to hear more about that. What is the trouble? Maybe I can work on a solution to help.

Great feedback! I'm considering that as well, to try the inner clock with numbers. The main idea of letters is to help distinguishing global time (UTC) from local time. So let's meet at 11:00 is local, and let's meet at M:00

Great feedback! I'll add this as an option, so users can use either 24h or 12h. Thanks!

another problem with the 3-letter system is that it's not always 3 letters. With daylight saving CST become CEST which is then +-1 different depending where you are. With hTime and bringing UTC into the clock, I'm aiming at elimi

Great feedback, I'll check that and try to fix soon. Thanks!

That also works, but unfortunately not for everyone working remotely and need to schedule meetings, webinars, online conferences, define product deadlines, etc. I'm hoping that hTime is going to simplify all of that by brining UTC back

by hhebbo 5y ago
Good feedback, probably I should be doing the same on hTime as well. I'll test more and see what's best for UX.

Cool, Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about Fleming's watch. The problem he was trying to solve back then is represented again today by distributed and remote work. Companies and teams have employees, customers, and parterres al

Thanks! Any feedback whether you'd use it or not?

calendly and savvycal are mainly calendar apps and work well for the scheduling use case only. However, this is only one use case that a global clock can be used for. Another use case that those apps don't solve is global events e.g. S

thanks for the feedback. You're right, and I have a solution for that already. Check this link https://thehtime.com/intersect?locations=USA+-+San+Francisco... I have a feature for meeting planning. The clock then finds

I'm building a new clock to eliminate time zone calculations, a clock that demolishes the need for time zones. Why? To simplify scheduling & communicating time when working globally. So no PDT, PT, CET, nor UTC +2 -7. UTC is alread

Just wanted to ask if you have any feedback/thoughts for me. I’d really appreciate that. Thanks!

amazing, thanks a lot!

by hhebbo 5y ago
didn't know that, thanks!

by hhebbo 5y ago
Thanks! Makes sense, that's what I want as well. So I've built a new clock that utilizes UTC, and rotates UTC according to your location on Earth. This basically maps UTC to all other times in the world and keeps only one reading

Why don't people use UTC when working across time zones?

Yes, I'm considering and planning it. In fact, I'm thinking either building integrations myself like a Slack or Google Calendar one, or the widget idea, I have both of them on the short-term roadmap. Any other suggestions/fee

Thanks a lot for commenting, very helpful. You're right, the current problem is drawing people to understanding and using the clock. Changing the way people perceive time isn't easy. However, it's a great challenge and that&#
