Hello! I am a nerd who is working on a TTRPG game! Check out my Pinned posts for more info!
I am legally required to state that I am over 14,000 pokecoins in debt to Professor Willow.
don't live in america? incredibly confused by the sheer number of timezones that place has? try 
usa clock . sorta uses some population and timezone and sleep schedule data to estimate how many americans are awake [stolen idea].
are you american? use exciting new 
australia and 
new zealand options
i know exactly when to post so that barely any Americans will be awake to see it (right now)
Happy to be contributing to that 10% currently.
Could the light mode / dark mode default (before it’s been toggled) be based on the device’s preferences?
i just changed it so that the default is whatever the media query suggests, which means it gets locked in on first visit. i'm not sure if that's the less confusing behaviour over always synchronising with the device until you toggle it, after which it's locked in, since i cbf adding ui to allow the user to set it back to sync with device
i love that at most 97% of americans are awake. shoutout to the 3% reversers.
Do you have the data sources or whatever needed to make this work for Canada? I'd imagine the results would be similar to the US, but I don't think the population distribution across time zones is exactly the same.
probably? the important data is state/subregion populations and associated timezones. lazy says just pick the timezone for the place with with the largest population in the subregion and use that. sleep data isn't as important, but for purity, time use surveys or whatever for hour-by-hour "how many people are awake?" data would be good. currently part of the 12% so this might be a tomorrow job
I'd imagine you could get populations down at the CMA or regional district level to make sure they precisely line up with time zones, because there's a few cases of time zone boundaries being out of sync with provincial and territorial boundaries up here.
you probably could, but i haven't. since the number is never reaaaaally gonna be accurate, i'm happy enough personally with the regions being associated with a timezone that "most" people in that region are experiencing (plus makes the data the app ships to clients not be Huge)
Yeah, given the actual population numbers in the outlier zones, it's basically not worth doing for a little tool like this.
so i put in a bunch of the data and it's basically just america+3% atm. lol. idk if i should add it proper
Huh. Not incredibly surprising, TBH.
See how it goes over the course of the day, I guess!!
it's ok that just means you get the super cool exclusive Australian internet experience by way of sleep schedule. it's quieter here but you get the best posts (best by my judgement (because this is often when i post))
