As the world gets closer and closer, the time difference plays a bigger role in our daily interactions. Who’s awake at what time, and when was the meeting really planned for?
Of course, we’ve set up world clocks on our iPhone, and tried to memorize when it is Brandon wakes up in Japan. But here comes a website, swanky as a ferrari, and gives you the time zone corrections for every major city. Not just that. For a more awesome wow moment, drag the current time slider and see as the time zones light up. Wonderfulness, in a web browser. Every Time Zone.

F***ing Brilliant. I was born in New Zealand, grew up in Singapore and I live in the Netherlands. Im 20 years old and have to skype with people from around the world. This, is awesome.
Hmm,.. the concept is great but the execution is pretty poor.
The site works in Chrome and Safari but Firefox 3.6 breaks completely… poor programming if you ask me.
Having said that the design and functionality —once you get it to work— is stunning.
Hey! Wow! Thanks :)
I’m the interaction/viz designer. I have a multi-time zone life myself and you also know what I noticed, that all the other tools are useless AND ugly. They don’t help you understand it at all.
Anyway, thanks again! It’s so amazing to see somebody appreciate exactly what led me to try to do something in the first place.
By the way, Jannis, the site is made for the iPad/webkit. It’s also alpha at best. Check out how awesome the code is — there are NO graphics at all. We will add in backwards compatibility, but it does, yes, male
me sad that Firefox is the new IE. :)
Hey Jannis, I’m the developer… Just pushed full Firefox support.
And still no graphics, no external CSS, no JavaScript libraries; plus it fully works offline, and comes with icon and all for iPad home screen. And all of that in 5k gzipped. :)
Hi Thomas,
revisited the site last night. Definitely works great in Firefox now.
Excellent work!
Everyone in our office is very impressed by this app.
2 things we noticed:
– There is an error on Line 636:
clicky is not defined
clicky.init(204109);
http://everytimezone.com/
Line 636
– it works but does not fit onto the iPhone screen (would be nice :) ).
Again, awesome stuff.

Will it possible to edit city names for each time zone.? For example I would like to change Hong Kong to Singapore.
Thanks
Great app!
