Hi HN!<p>I want to share with you this tiny tool that I recently hacked together.<p>It&#x27;s trivial in nature - a web version of the Greenwich Time Signal that&#x27;s often played when a news broadcast starts.<p>Though you can reset the seconds on your digital watch by visual means (like another synced clock), I think that a sound indicator helps with the timing. With that in mind, this tool fills a very small niche.<p>The original time signal is slowly being phased out from linear broadcasts, and other official sources are being discontinued [1]. I want to help preserve this part of analogue history in a digital format and provide a fallback.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;matiasklemola.com&#x2F;time-signal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;matiasklemola.com&#x2F;time-signal</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2023&#x2F;oct&#x2F;12&#x2F;canada-official-time-signal-ends" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2023&#x2F;oct&#x2F;12&#x2F;canada-officia...</a>
