I figured this might be useful to folks.It's a simple PHP server that requires a single-table database (It's fairly "agnostic," but all my uses are in MySQL).I won't publish any of the servers that I've set up for my apps, because someone is bound to write an application that drives my bandwidth into the stratosphere.I could definitely take it further, but this gives me all I need for my purposes.Here's an app I wrote, that uses it: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/we-are-never-alone/id6504826025">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/we-are-never-alone/id650482602...</a>

Since the geojson for the timezone data is a static file you can avoid using a database entirely and ship it to your app.If you'd like to avoid shipping a giant geojson, with the generosity of CDN providers you can actually hit the npm-hosting servers with HTTP Range requests and do this completely on demand from the client: <a href="https://github.com/kevmo314/browser-geo-tz">https://github.com/kevmo314/browser-geo-tz</a>

Look at this library embedding the TZ data, implemented in multiple languages, even providing an HTTP server <a href="https://github.com/ringsaturn/tzf">https://github.com/ringsaturn/tzf</a>

I'm guessing this does not try to handle things like terra nullius (Bir Tawil, Marie Byrd Land, etc.) or where there might not be a "correct" answer over which timezone is in a place (like <a href="https://www.972mag.com/the-worlds-only-ethnic-time-zone/" rel="nofollow">https://www.972mag.com/the-worlds-only-ethnic-time-zone/</a>)?

Super nice! I wanted to do an Arduino-based GPS clock that always shows the correct local time, but got bogged down getting the exact timezone boundaries.Thanks for bringing up <a href="https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder">https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder</a> !

I recently had this issue with an Android app I made, it was surprisingly difficult to resolve. I ended up going with some OpenStreetMap mirror endpoint for my solution

TIL that China only has one timezone... I really liked your visualization of all the timezones in the repo!

I was under the impression that the standard was to use lat/lng, rather than long/lat. Is there such a standard thing, or I am generalizing my tiny corner of the bits?

A standalone server feels very excessive.This is static data that only needs to be updated once or twice a year. Why not just make this an npm or py module
