Do you have to deal with different time zones?

I'm fine-tuning an idea for a product that will make checking and tracking different time zones a breeze - now at the stage of a quick market/reality check Will appreciate your feedback: 1. How often do you check time in different time zones? 2. Why do you check time zones? Is it for work, for personal matters, for cusiosity's sake? 3. What do you use for it? Do you google/use an app/calculate in your head? Thank you!

We're often considering what time is it in the countries my teams are working from. Deciding when to book meetings etc. One of the reasons why we built inorbit.io ... focusing on asynchronous collaboration. Making it easier to coordinate work no matter where you are.

Navigating time zones is like trying to juggle flaming torches - thrilling yet slightly dangerous! I check different time zones daily for work, personal chats, and to keep my global meme-sharing game strong. What tools do you rely on to time-travel across continents?

Maybe not a direct comparison, but I ran into this early in development of my current project which is an ai nutrition coach on telegram. Users have daily goals and can log meals, so I needed to ensure that their nutritional "day" lined up with their local expectations. I stored everything in UTC and allowed users to set their timezone. Then I use a python package pytz to translate timezones appropriately for each function: calculating daily nutrients remaining, sending a daily reminder message, etc.
