After staring at it some more, I'd suggest perhaps switching places between the day of month and month of year circles. That way you would have consistently smaller unit of time=smaller circle.
That makes sense. I'm least happy with the (day-in-)month circle, but felt the calendar portion wasn't really useful without handling it somehow.
I wanted the year circle to evoke Earth's orbit, so it had to be near the Sun. Inserting another circle was breaking that intuition (already stretched, tbh) for me. I was flip-flopping between these two and finally decided on the current solution.
I'm even more unhappy[0] with the fact that the number of ticks and speed on that circle changes every month, depending on the calendar month duration. For a world clock, on month changes it also means that you can't represent the date correctly for all shown timezones.
I could have used some real-world phenomena that are close to our calendar month instead[1], as pointed out by another commenter. This would make it "more correct" but "less useful in everyday situations". Even though I don't plan to use it every day, one of the goals of the project was for it to aspire to being useful.
This is awesome! I kinda wanna make one that adapts even more to your location: lengthen and shorten the light part of the circle according to your local sunrise and sunset times! Unfortunately that kinda sorta breaks the neatness of displaying multiple timezones, since it won't line up nicely with different latitudes.
> lengthen and shorten the light part of the circle according to your local sunrise and sunset times!
It's really not obvious, especially in light mode, but if you switch to dark mode you can see the day circle has a "bolder" and a "thinner" part. Bolder is the daylight hours, and its length and position corresponds to the daylight hours (in this instance, of Zagreb, since that's the primary timezone for the clock).
You're correct in that it can't work if you have multiple lattitudes. I took the easy way out - I ignore that and just use the first one :X
Given the similarity in "inspired by" projects, how does this compare to iced? I've found iced to be surprisingly mature in every aspect I've tried, except the documentation, which is severely lacking
That tweet by Timothy Snyder is quite ridiculous. There's just no way that's the motivation behind all this.
Unfortunately it's also the only motivation anyone has presented that there is any real hope of actually achieving. And it's the kind of excuse trump could use to become glorious dictator. Or at least I wouldn't be surprised to learn he thinks it is.
No, I really don't think that's why this war was started. I don't think trump actually wants terrorist attacks in America. But it just might be what he will get, whether he likes it or not.
> I don't think trump actually wants terrorist attacks in America.
He might not but he's surrounded by christian evangelist lunatics who think bringing about the end times is their moral responsibility and, more importantly, they are in charge because Trump is an addled idiot who has fewer thoughts in his head than an orange cat.
The standard hotel experience is sitting wrapped in a towel and longing for my winter coat! Actually I would probably feel similarly in this study, 73°c is really cold for sauna. 90°c-100°c is the sweet spot
A unexpected loud noise recently caused me to get tinnitus and hyperacusis, and trust me, you don't want either of them!
You know a diagnose is bad when Wikipedia lists suicidal thoughts as a common side effect....
