I needed a clean, fast time zone converter. Ended up building one – whatsthetime.online

I’m a student developer and I recently built a time zone conversion site that’s more than just another "UTC to PST" tool.

✅ What’s special:

🌐 Real-time converter with smart clocks & time picker

📅 Supports all time zones with friendly aliases (like "Kandy → Asia/Colombo")

🌅 Animated backgrounds based on time of day (morning, evening, etc.)

🔗 Shareable links + OG cards for social media

💡 Inspired by productivity, travel, and remote team needs

/Built with 💙 using Astro + Tailwind, designed for simplicity and speed. No ads (for now), mobile-friendly, and totally open to ideas!

Would love your feedback — What features would you want in a global time tool?
