This afternoon I wrote a program that I always wanted to have. Just a really simple way to move a clock around on a world map to find out what time it is anywhere in the world, without need to to do a Google search.<\/p>\n
You can also use it the other way: If you already know what your local time is, you can use this to find out your exact longitude in the world.<\/p>\n
It was surprisingly easy to implement, mostly because I tried to make it as simple as possible. The one little extra design flourish was that I change what the clock looks like depending on whether the local time is day or night.<\/p>\n
Also, I decided to make time change continuously as you change your longitude, rather than using discrete time zones. Mostly because this way it’s more fun and dramatic. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
