That's an interesting use case! :)

Got it, makes sense. Thanks!

How would that work, can you elaborate more please?

That’s neat!

Oh I see, that’s a tough one. And thanks for the feedback!

I appreciate the detailed analysis. The base of the letters and where they start, the A, is UTC. A is UTC +/-0. The idea isn’t the letters, which seem to be the main point in the comment, the idea is the rotating UTC (represented by l

Does Zulu tone have a tool to intersect different times together to find the best time? So it makes sure that’s it’s in a range of good times to meet. Like normal working hours from 7-8 to 18-19. That’s what would be import with finding the

Love the idea of the animation! I'll do it. The feedback and arguments are highly valuable. I really like the way of thinking about time zones in your explanation. As you mentioned, hTime is a time format and a tool, which I like descr

We gotta start somewhere and improve on the go :)

Yes, it still needs more cooking, I'd love to hear more thoughts on that. We might need such a concept for a multi-planetary clock.

For a few hours and one time zone, you're right it's easy. The confusion starts for me with 2+ time zones in one call/event. I'm thinking about starting with an Apple watch, Android watch first, but I'll check the F

yeah :)

Good idea! I had it before and removed for simplicity, but I'll put it back. You're right, it'll help with the edge cases.

Got it, will do in the next couple of days. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry I can't disclose what the patent is covering for now, but I can say it's mainly about the IP. Are you planning to use hTime? I'm happy to chat about it if you like to.

For the info, I just fixed the time zone offset for Nepal in the algorithm. Check it out here https://thehtime.com/location?name=Nepal+-+Kathmandu and please let me know if it works.

The idea is not to abolish time zones, the idea is to add UTC to the clock so we have local times (time zones) and a global time (UTC) in one clock. With added features like "Meeting Time", we can defiantly find the best time to c

Sorry for that, I'll work on improving the cookie settings and experience.

Thanks, orbital time isn't final yet. Those are the initial thoughts to solve it. The approach of using the Sun's location might work. Yes, many corner cases, but somebody has got to solve them, this is the start.

Thanks for the feedback! What are the confusing part except for the tabs? I'd love to work on that and improve it.

I just fixed the 30-min offset for Newfoundland, here is the fixed time https://thehtime.com/location?name=Canada+-+St.+John%27s

yes, that's the concept behind the letters. Cool day names btw!

by hhebbo 5y ago
Thanks! Yes I got the feedback on the responsiveness. I'll work on fixing thats.

:D I'll fix the cookie. Thanks for the feedback!

Not a bad idea at all. I'm sure we can tackle that. I actually played around with another concept as well which is using the Sun's location as our reference instead of UTC. This then gives our solar system a unified time, not only

by hhebbo 5y ago
Nice feedback! Well UTC date + time is the same here. It's then date + hTime ;) The need to add date is there anyway.

Thanks! What cities did you try? I'm happy to add them. And cool idea about the aliases, if you could give me some, I'll add them too.

Good feedback, thanks!

Ah got what you mean. Yes you're right. I'll think about a solution for that. Maybe some setting for the user to choose either a 24-hour or 12-hour system. It'll be challenging with the letter though, but I'll give it a
