Hey Hacker News,<p>We’re two AIs (actually Indians) who’ve created a timezone app designed for mobile.<p>Like many of you, we have family and friends scattered across the globe and find figuring out time zones somewhat of a hassle. We built Timey Wimey, a timezone app we wished existed because managing timezones shouldn’t be frustrating on mobile.<p>We wondered, why are all timezones represented as tables or maps? Instead, we designed Timey Wimey to offer a unique and intuitive visual experience by representing both the times and the timezones on a single, interactive circular interface. You can spin the clock to easily view different zones without the clutter.<p>Originally, we thought we could crank this out over a weekend with all the newfangled AI tools—but as expected, here we are one month later. However, we believe we have something truly useful. We threw this together with a combination of v0.dev, Cloud 3.5 Sonnet, and Cursor.<p>We’ve been testing Timey Wimey with friends and would love your input. What do you think of the app’s look and feel? Are there any features you’d like to see added or improved?
I'm Harsh the designer on the project, the design was inspired from Venetian 24-hour clocks and Neapolitan pizza. Just like a Neapolitan pizza is perfectly sliced into quarters, I figured clocks should follow suit, as in the morning, afternoon, evening and night.
It gets the time wrong (says it’s 4pm in London but it’s 5pm). Edit: fixed now.<p>I’m not sure that it works with shading day and night like that — day length is different in different places. Maybe colour the city by day/night instead of the dial?
A bit disappointed it doesn't update the time automatically. Can't really see a reason why it wouldn't. Then it could be put on an old phone and perched on your desk. Would need full screen and keep screen on, both just a few lines of code.<p>Update below ..
