Better now?

Menu transitions and toggling seconds on/off are now animated.

Could not reproduce this one yet

Now they do

Whoops! Just now I realize I made a typo in the title :) It must be: "Did I just build.. a clock?"

Good point! Added that option now: settings > authentic

Haha, 168 languages, cool! Just curious which cultures without a tradition of written language you've hit?

Now that you mention BASIC, I had a TI-84PL graphing calculator. One of the first programs I wrote were a school calendar and snake. Good old days.

Sorry for the confusion. I am human.

It reached the frontpage of HN? Super cool! I did not know that.

I admit, not sure whether a clock in general deserves that. But apparently this clock had his lucky day.

Well it works on my machine but I guess it was the rate limiter. That should be more generous now. Can you try again?

As a bonus, I added a bunch of features like Stopwatch, Focus mode, World clocks converter and Daylight saving time.

Thank you!

Following your suggestion, I added the A文 icon.

Problem was: the fallback language was Dutch. Now it is English. Should make more people happy.

And why only 2 languages when I can add 22? In different locales? Ok.

So now the clock supports English, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Slovenian, Estonian and Icelandic.

Should cover 3 billion people worldwide.

I really needed a clock on my second screen. Needed it badly.

No! That is a lie. Clocks are everywhere already. Did not need it at all.

Also don't have time to build a clock. Imagine what I could have done with all that precious time spent on flip clocks, station clocks, you name it. I could have taught my son how to tell time.

Wait!

Did you build a really fancy flip clock!? Yes! I really like that one! That is not a lie.

Phone in landscape mode during cooking? Sure. Timeboxing during study. Alright alright.

But why did you (woow!) took all the effort to make the favicon a realtime clock? Did your agent do it? Didn't read the memo that token-maxing is so 2025?

Well, am I crazy? I liked building it anyway.
