I'm building a new clock to eliminate time zone calculations for remote teams. Why? To simplify scheduling & communicating time when working globally. Well, this concept exists and is called UTC, however UTC isn’t really used in our daily lives.
The clock I'm building utilizes a new UTC concept, a UTC that rotates with you according to your location on Earth. In other words, the clock knows where you are and adjusts itself for you. This unifies the reading of time everywhere at any given moment. Therefore, time zone calculations can be eliminated.
The idea of the clock (hTime) is not to change the clock, but to extend it by adding a new layer to it, a global time layer. hTime utilizes the same time system we all know, it comprises 60 minutes and seconds, and 24 local hours. On top of that, there is a new layer of 24 global hours represented in letters. Why letters? Simply to distinguish the local time from the global one, so numbers for local times and letters for global ones. This global layer is the one that adjusts itself for you and rotates according to your location on earth. This again unifies the ready of time.
So, no time zone math, no PDT, EDT, CEST, and no back and forth emails anymore.
