FIO - Figure it Out for Chrome - Manage and instantly view time zones for locations in Chrome

Similar to one of my favorite Product Hunt finds yet, Momentum, this Chrome extension replaces your new tab to display time zones in other areas of your choosing. Side note: I believe there's an underutilized opportunity in building products within the new tab, inserting itself within one's daily routine. Limitless is another one that comes to mind but I haven't seen many products use this. cc @ashbhoopathy

Hey there, im one of the co-creators of FIO / Figure it Out. Whats good?

Smart, @nikitakorotaev! Life is good, @alafritz. :) Love the design and simplicity of FIO. What's your grand master plan with the project?

Alternative via widget hack:

Loving the use of the fresh tab for this vs making me click the browser app icon

Isn't it odd that when it comes to browser extensions, there can only be one. That's like only having one app on your homescreen. This looks cool but sadly cannot replace Momentum for me.

@ShaanVP I feel the same way. Perhaps someone needs to create the platform for plug-n-play, "cmd+t" embedded apps.

Hadn't heard of Momentum yet. Looks nice though - almost like Yahoo weather with a todo list. I've gotten picky (probably too much so) with adding chrome extensions b/c i always end up with my browser crawling along until I cleanse. I thought this looked nice and low weight w/o any big images loading each time

I'm with @ShaanVP. For me, figuring out the time in another city is an active process that is triggered by some external stimuli (eg scheduling a call). I see the new tab screen opportunity as passive, something that I just happen to see a few times throughout the course of a day. I'd much prefer a button up near the address bar or a key stroke to launch FIO.

I use timebuddy on the iphone for this use case. Its not as sexy also im in the not going to replace momentum club :)

@ShaanVP & @msg - maybe this is what you need: Veern (posted by @andrewpyott today).

Looks pretty sweet. As others have mentioned though, it should be a way to easily change between the different new tab extensions. Until that is in place, googling "time in [city or country] works fine for me.

Already have this on Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.
