Feedback for a new timezone converter intro page
This weekend, I set out to build simplest tool to convert timezones. I worked towards the following goals
📱 No app/extension install and no account creation — Should be able to configure once, bookmark and come back later to my list of timezones anytime
🕒 No sliders, button press, etc — the simplest possible interactions
🚀 Super fast!
❤️ Simple yet powerful UX on web and mobile
🌎 Should be able to search by any city in the world — not have to remember exact timezone
🆓 FREE
This was the result

Here's my intro post - https://medium.com/@sharathprabhal/time-travel-convert-timezones-faster-than-ever-e9fd406467d2
Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance!
Cool stuff. Consider adding 12/24h switch?
I would recommend trying to find some really really short domain that is easy to remember. Otherwise people will keep forgetting it as it is something that you don't check on a daily basis
How your product is competing with these two google searches
11pm to londonand11pm in londonthat are offering the same information as your product?
Hi @brunor, thanks for the feedback. Will definitely consider the 24h switch and short domain name.
Regarding google searches, there isn't a single search(afaik) that can convert across multiple timezones. I know this because thats what I used to do earlier :) However, you also bring up a good point on SEO. It'll be cool if this was a top search when someone searched for time in <some place>.
And also, point out on the page why do you need too have multiple timezones at once. I mean to sell it to the visitor - why pick this site, what you're offering? I hope you understand me.
But, then, reading your medium post, I saw this
So, that's the root cause, that's the problem you're solving. It's not like problem to see the time in all of those cities.
Maybe to change your product and position it as a tool for finding common time slots across multiple timezones. What do you think about that?
So you put different limits (e.g. working hours, 9-17h) and then to visualise what's the best time you could meet.
Having the site as it is now, without clear message what it solves for me - it's just another timezone converter.
Having something like this https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html
but simple to use and appealing, that's what would drive visitors to your site
Really cool, congrats on the launch :)
