That's interesting - didn't cross my mind! Thanks for the pointer.
Btw, the website you linked doesn't work for me. I get the "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: navigator.geolocation is undefined" on Firefox 98.0.2 on macOS 12.3.1

Your personal project is a pretty cool and interesting way to visualize daylight (especially using the fast forward button to go through a week at a time). Thanks for making it.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love the week skip too, interesting to see the shape change over the year.
Undocumented feature: if you hold down "w" or "shift+w" keys you can skip through weeks even faster.

There's an Apple watch face called "solar dial" that's pretty similar, and I've seen others like this.
To me this is the most logical watch face — everything else just confuses matters.

Funnily enough I had that article already saved to pinboard!
Love your app btw, I made a similar clock years ago but with just sunrise and sunset times. I've just updated it with suncalc.js to add twilight times also, so thanks.

Most hackers are active outside of this time range.

Agreed, but still useful IMHO to get a sense of "where" you are in the day.
SunCalc is a good tool for this, if you're interested: https://github.com/mourner/suncalc
(I've used it on a personal project, and the API was a little awkward but the results are good: https://daylight.website/)
