Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! Yes I used Twilio API. I went to a hackathon last weekend and built this using Twilio API, and it was cool so I decided to refine it some more and release it. 1. Yeah currently it's alarm for hours and minutes "from now" rather than actual time, because you know, time zone conversion thing is really annoying and takes up too much time. But you're right I gotta make that more clear. 2. Yeah I'm concerned about that too. I think I might actually think about doing it that way too. Thanks for the idea!

      Oh cool man. This was originally Talk To The Future. I just refined the UI and got a new domain.

Re: 1, you can set it in the database as a UTC record and then have it visually change in the HTML (using javascript) with several options. Eg: If I select 7am on 6/15 from your dropdown list, you render some inline HTML that shows some/all of the following: "7am EST" "4am PST" "6am CST" etc Timezones are definitely tricky, but if you search StackOverflow or other sites there might be some good recommended approaches.

  I've worked in a lot of time/timezone related apps and Moment (Javascript) has treated me the best so far. http://momentjs.com/ http://momentjs.com/
