It gets the time wrong (says it’s 4pm in London but it’s 5pm). Edit: fixed now.

I’m not sure that it works with shading day and night like that — day length is different in different places. Maybe colour the city by day/night instead of the dial?

yikes, mind throwing us a screenshot? I'm seeing 5PM on my end https://i.imgur.com/wzAS6PT.png
aha! Toggle the top left view to see it in scheduling mode.
That’s confusing, having them all on the dial at the same angle makes look like they share the same time.

(I thought that toggle would show me a more boxy view, like a calendar.)

Yeah, there's some learning curve, which is why we stuck it in the second mode.

They are sharing the same "time", it's just the value of the time is different around the world. The colours should help indicate what's happening in each timezone.

so is London time working fine now?
Yeah, but I wonder if maybe there’s a bug if you load the page bang on the hour. (It was bang on the hour when I first loaded it.)

The other two cities were out by an hour when London was out by an hour.
