Timezone Butler - Slack butler who will take care of the timezone differences

🥂🍾🎇 Happy 2019, Product Hunters! Here's a mini side project that I thought might be interesting for people working with remote teams. At Bohemian Coding we are a 100% remote team, distributed across multiple timezones. Plus I'm often traveling so I never know on which timezone difference I have with my colleagues. And we are heavy users of Slack. Last month, @robotic_mermaid said "been on since 8:30, definitely forgot to say hello. Hello!". Which made me wonder what time it was here, like 1h ago, 2h ago? I had no idea. But Slack knows! So we started brainstorming. The first step was to create a slackbot that automatically sends you a private timezone conversion without interrupting the flow of conversation. Step 2 is becoming president of the world, and remove timezones altogether. We’ll just have to compromise on who gets to sleep when it's midnight or noon 😉 If you have any feedback or ideas, please let me know and I'll implement them ASAP. 😋 PS: it's free and open source: https://github.com/mathieudutour.... It's not storing anything except the slack team ID and is not collecting anything.

Wow this is really useful for me! I mess up timezone meetings all the time and have been waiting for something to help for ages! Thanks!

I don't have more.

Pros:

Nothing really.

Cons:

Only works randomly when mentioned. Not a viable solution.

Love the concept. But it doesn't seem to actually work...
