    Also made something like this called Sun Path which tracks where the sun is through centuries and how the path deviates ever so slowly.<p>Plus there are all the equinoxes and solstices.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pilgrimapp.org&#x2F;sunpath&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pilgrimapp.org&#x2F;sunpath&#x2F;</a>

    It must be clock-making time... I built a 24-hour clock a few days ago but in base-12 and with 72 seconds per minute (to reuse the outer 24-hour dial, with 3 subdivisions to make it closer to the normal second)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jasonincanada.github.io&#x2F;24-hour-base-12-clock.html#workday=08:00-16:30" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jasonincanada.github.io&#x2F;24-hour-base-12-clock.html#w...</a>

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;editor.p5js.org&#x2F;rhemalinder&#x2F;full&#x2F;im3tyPBDW" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;editor.p5js.org&#x2F;rhemalinder&#x2F;full&#x2F;im3tyPBDW</a> - I made this one for myself and it&#x27;s pretty similar.<p>I have this hard-coded to south dakota, but it looks like this and I made it a while ago. Same idea, except I turn it such that &quot;solar noon&quot; is at the top.<p>Think 12 noon is really &quot;high noon&quot; or solar noon? Nope, not unless you are in the center of a timezone!

      The objective time of &quot;)ocal noon&quot; also varies due to the Earth&#x27;s orbit not being a perfect circle, and the Earth&#x27;s axis being tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit. The variance is described by the equation of time:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Equation_of_time" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Equation_of_time</a>

      &gt; <i>Nope, not unless you are in the center of a timezone!</i><p>… and you do not live with daylight saving time.

    I love it. It&#x27;d be nice if I could click points on a map and see the difference to my local one as well. Or in the calendar view if it&#x27;d show a copy of the clock (i.e. coloring not current hand positions) for the time I&#x27;m hovered over.

    Let me choose location manually.

      You can set latitude and longitude after opening settings with the gear icon.

    I would prefer if it showed a regular 12 hours clock face and show the upcoming sunrise or sunset, or two faces one for each.

    This is neat! Would love the ability to make &quot;true noon&quot; be at the top of the clock, instead of 12.

    Nice. I&#x27;ve been making a version of this that I submitted to ycombinator, testing the thesis &quot;If we schedule our life around the sun including afternoon naps&quot; we perform better.<p>Check it out and give me feedback. It has a long ways to go.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sunsignal.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sunsignal.app</a>

    Man fuck Apple for not allowing custom Apple Watch faces &gt;:(<p>Always the crippled operating system limiting the potential of their amazing hardware

      The “Solar Dial” face does pretty much what the site does.
