I made a mini site to see timezone shifts
Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so. Its fully clientside and works by making use of the Internationalization API, so if you need an API for this you're coming to the wrong place, but feel free to yoink the code. Its just one fat index.html file. Served off my VPS via…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so. Its fully clientside and works by making use of the Internationalization API, so if you need an API for this you're coming to the wrong place, but feel free to yoink the code. Its just one fat index.html file. Served off my VPS via caddy file server. No dependencies or build steps. See the code in the github link below. All the CSS is "vibe coded", I think it looks pretty cool. As an aside, I love that AI has made it so easy to spit out sites like this. My personal site is filled with subdomains like this one with little random tools which I occasionally use. https://github.com/rupert648/timezone-fuckery/blob/main/inde...

- TCTimezone converter that tells you if your meeting time sucks2025 · timezig.com · ▲6
I work with a team spread across Sydney, London, and SF. Last month I accidentally called my Aussie colleague at 3am their time during what I thought was a "quick sync". The silence before "mate... do you know what time it is here?" still haunts me. Built this: https://timezig.com It's a timezone converter but it tells you if your meeting time sucks for the other person: - Meeting quality ratings (excellent/good/fair/poor) - Visual indicators for day/night - Shows if it's a holiday in their country - Handles weird cases like Dubai's Sunday-Thursday workweek…

I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript. Source code and additional information is available on GitHub: https://github.com/dnlzro/horizon [1] https://html.energy/html-day/2025/index.html
