This is a clock app that tells time based on the user's longitude
- Time zones were originally determined by longitude (and they still do!).
- But if you look at a time zone map, you'll notice most time zone boundaries got bent around country borders, or just pierced through completely.
- This is because many countries choose to observe one or a few time zones for uniformity and simplicity.
- It's fine, but it also means time in many places are not as correct as we thought (not even to mention DST).
- Longitude Time as an app provides an insight on what each location's realtime is.
- Longitude Time receives your location input consisting of your city and country.
- The city and country inputs are sent to a Geocode API to receive the longitude.
- The received longitude is divided by 15 and rounded to give your location's time offset.
- Your location's longitude time is then calculated by adding the offset to the current UTC/GMT time
