Show HN: Combining UTC and local times (time zones) in one new clock

Newfoundland is 30 mins different.

Really this is just an offset in letters. Make the offset in numbers. I love the inner clock face idea.

Great feedback! I'm considering that as well, to try the inner clock with numbers. The main idea of letters is to help distinguishing global time (UTC) from local time. So let's meet at 11:00 is local, and let's meet at M:00 is global. I'll try the numbers and test what would be simpler to use for users. Thanks!

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

Great! I’m delighted that you’re exploring other ways to describe time zones and offsets given how complicated it all is.
