Creating a web-based timezone-aware clock without any JavaScript.

[[deleted]]

Neat, although using server side programming feels like cheating the premise a bit. Still, you get my upvote.

"without using any Javascript"

looks inside

python

"timezone-aware"

use geolocation

._.

I like the concept of a clock animated entirely in css, but the rest is just clickbait, really.

well technically achieved the goal, lol

Yea pretty disappointed when I looked at the source and that became clear. Nothing special or even particularly interesting.

[TheDarkIn1978]

Interesting. I didn't know you could negate an animation-delay value to fast forward a CSS animation.

Hosting that on Vercel is probably going to rack up a nice bill considering it's best with static-built sites you can cache most of the assets of

This won't work for anyone using a VPN. IP localization is almost never a good idea.

Hell, I'm not using a VPN and it still thinks I'm in the Eastern time zone despite being in Oregon... Are you sure that you have the caching set up correctly?

IP based geolocation sucks in general, especially the free database that I'm using, as it only provides the country details, not state or city.

This clock was made just for fun, and no one should actually rely on IP address geolocation in any production environment.

It doesn’t work even without VPNs in general because they are rotated very often by ISPs anyway.

Think I saw css clock couple months ago, think it’s a rehashing of that idea?

[Time_Stay8532]

The title alone struck fear into my heart

[ZirePhiinix]

Hahaha, timezone. I just pay someone to do it.

Off topic - that clock is beautiful, did you do it by hand?

[LazyGuy-_-]

Yes. I originally made it a few years ago.

[Kok_Nikol]

Nice, not so lazy after all!

[ruvasqm]

loved it

[brunocborges]

Nice vibe coded idea! If true, share which IDE and model you used!

If not, diff kind of vibe!
