Hello Product Hunt, I've been working remotely for a few years now, and I missed a few meetings over "Timezone Quiproquos." I never found THE intuitive timezone tool, so I built it. Who needs this? People working remotely! Teams, AND more: freelancers and their clients will find this useful too. I even use a clock to sync with friends. It's also useful to "meet" a team: I send this tool to a client recently; they add themselves AND the rest of their team. Boom: I get a simple overview of the whole team, insiders, contractors, and timezones included. Nicer than scrolling through Slack Channels. Want a tip? You can use any URL, and signup to "lock" it. For example, https://whena.re/remote-ceos is a valid clock. You can use names that are easy to remember, or names that are difficult to find by chance. Next versions, I plan to focus on integrations. I want to make this accessible INSIDE Slack, Trello, and others. Let me know if there's a way to make this more useful for you! Byt the way, it's the V2 of a previous product "timezown", it has a share feature now, it's much faster, and works on mobile.

@laurentsenta Great UI Questions: !! I don't see Sri Lanka Time zome (UTC +5:30). Can you add? Also, SF is PT, which is UTC -7:00, but whena.re shows +7:00. Am I seeing this wrong?

@laurentsenta grat app. I was struggling with timezones as well as my team mates, as some zones has daylight savings and others not, at least every few months someone were too early or too late for the call. I have a comment about functionality: can't find some cities, like Charleston SC, NYC, and other US cities.

Glad to know you find this helpful @smart_egg. Do you intend to share a clock with your team? Thanks for the precise feedback, what do you think of having a map where you can click on the city directly? I've found so many list of timezones / city, in the end this looks much more intuitive.

@laurentsenta thank you for quick response. 1. No, no plans for sharing, going to use myself; 2. No need for map, moving cursor around is waste of time, hitting [Tab] and typing name of the city in, more efficient; This is about productivity in the first place right? (no one going to scroll, it's about typing); Keep it up! Great Idea and MVP

I tried to customize the URL, but it doesn't seem to allow any changing of the URL from the auto-generated slug - before or after "locking" it. Also, would be nice to be able to mouseover the avatars on the clock and show their name and timezone, in case some users don't upload an avatar. Had a few people not understand they had to click the green check mark to "save" their user profile as well. Maybe a more explicit "SAVE" button would be helpful in that regard.

Hey @nathan_chase thanks for your feedbacks, it's true, each URL is a single clock, you may share it using the input but you can't rename a clock. I'll make this clearer, or let users rename a clock. Agreed and agreed your last two points, this'll be on the next update ;)

Good morning whena.re users, just a secret update for you early birds (I'll make a new PH launch later) The slack integration is ready to use and install. Just visit this page and click Add To Slack: https://whena.re/slack It's completely free below a certain usage (quite high for now, so the sooner you register the best option). Happy to talk with you if you have questions,
