Instant bookmark. Our team is in 5 different time zones and I frequently have to google their current time.

@rrhoover by the way, we display local time on everyone in Sqwiggle ... just saying ;)
Ryan Hoover
@tommoor very smart. Slack and other team communication tools should do this.

There's already quite a few desktop apps that show different time zones you'd commonly look up. Can't see what this is doing that's so different/better.

@AnujAdhiya Homeslice isn't revolutionary but it does one simple thing well and is accessible from any browser. What desktop apps would you recommend?

@rrhoover I use the world clock in Dashboard for this. One clock per time zone you care about, one keystroke to check it.

@rrhoover No question that it doing one thing and one thing well. To me, it's more about how well any and all such single-use tools fit into (or make me deviate from) my existing workflow & habits (which includes Googling). I'm a Windows user and in v8 or 7, you can simply configure the clock to show 3 time zones when you hover over it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-... I also know people who, like you, need to see more than 3 timezones and use this: http://apps.microsoft.com/window... (@erictwillis & @jasoncrawford mentioned the web version of this) Not sure what a Mac alternative might be but it's hard to imagine that someone on PH doesn't know of one.

Hey, this is my thing.nnThere are heaps of others out there. I found the best designed focused on lots of timezones rather than two or three.nnWould love to hear feedback if/when you have a use for it.
