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

Cool concept! The thing that I like about using A-X is that it helps avoid accidentally confusing "10" between local and UTC. IE, the longer I would use this, the more I get used to knowing that 8:00 is N:00 in my local time.

IMO: Something in the html needs cleanup. Depending on my window size, elements are always overlapping. (I'm on Chrome on Windows, with uBlock.)

Great feedback! Yes, that's exactly the concept of letters and numbers for local and global times :) I'll work more on the responsiveness of the interface. There is something to improve every day.

Do you work across time zones? If yes, would you like to give hTime a go and test it for some days? I'd love to hear more feedback from daily usage of the clock.

Not anymore. Within a few hours, it's easy to accommodate in my head. But, spanning continents, it's a lot harder. I'm generally in the habit of always saying the time zone when talking across timezones.

BTW: Have you ever written a Fitbit watchface? They're pretty easy.

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 Fitbit one and build after the apple one, cool idea!
