Hi all!
I am Pierre Reimertz and the maker of FlagTimes. It's such a pleasant surprise to see this on Product Hunt now when it's out of beta. :)
I myself was working remotely just like @antoineplu and got tired of doing time zone calculations in my head all the time. So after a while I wondered; there's gotta be a simple tool out there that can show you multi time zones in the menu bar? It turned out, no!
So I wrote a hard-coded version with just the time zones I wanted, but after friends and other remote people around me saw the app, they wanted it as well... So I was like, let's build this thing!
And here we are, a couple of months and some beta iterations later and I'm quite happy with it.
If I start to se a bunch of users, I will most definitely add more features to it.
🎉🎉 Also, since it's on ProductHunt, I will lover the price to $0.99 🎉🎉
Edit: OMG this is on the front page, seriously humbled right now! -> https://twitter.com/reimertz/sta...
This is pretty amazing! What would make it even better is if there was a way to check something like "What time would it be in [X] if it is 11 AM local?". I've been looking for a tool to do that so I can easily coordinate meetings. Would be even better if there was some kind of time scale with two time zones that I could drag to see what the time would be. Any plans to build something like this?
@palavalli Great idea! Since the app seems to get some traction now, I will most definitely start adding features to it and this could be one of them! :D
@palavalli@manny_orduna Seems like a legit app, future updates will definitely be inspired by this app. :)

Since I'm working remotely with different timezones, I was looking for a dead simple mac status bar to being able to give a quick look to the local time in each city. I was kinda desperate to not found what I wanted until @onaliugo found for me FlagTimes!
It's exactly what I needed, I love it 😍 🙌

@onaliugo@antoineplu Thank you very much @antoineplu for the love! I was in the same situation you where in when I created the app but couldn't find one.. So I created FlagTimes. :)
