Timezone converter that tells you if your meeting time sucks
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…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
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 Technical bit: pre-generated 18k+ static pages for every city combination. Loads instantly because there's no backend calculations. Next.js 15, no database. Still figuring out monetization (ads? affiliate links for virtual meeting tools?) but keeping it free for now. What else would make this useful? Currently tracking holidays for ~20 countries but could add more.

- IMI made a mini site to see timezone shifts2025 · tz.pert.dev · ▲8
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…

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
