Showing GMT plus auto conversion to my local timezone is super nice
Thank you! I first did this on https://kamelgt.com as when I’d be chatting with a racer in a practice session, it was difficult for me to remember the time of the race in GMT, and it was difficult for others to convert it to their local time zone. Saying “eh, just go to the site and it will tell you what times you can show up to race.” was far easier for everyone involved.
It even works if the time is about to change to DST or BST, etc. the calculation is done once per second. So if you hang around at 2am during a time change, you’d see it spring forward or fall back. This seems like overkill, but it’s needed for situations like when the time changes and all of a sudden next week’s race is an hour earlier, but today’s race is still at the regular time.
