I recently built and launched HourZone.io, a simple utility website for time and date information.<br> What it does:</p> <p>Current week number (ISO 8601)<br> Time zone converter (40+ cities)<br> Stopwatch, timer, and countdowns<br> Date difference calculator<br> Age calculator<br> Unix timestamp converter<br> Leap year checker</p> <p>Why I built it:<br> I wanted a fast, clean alternative to bloated time/date sites full of ads and popups. HourZone is static, loads instantly, has zero cookies, and is completely free.<br> Tech stack:<br> Astro (SSG), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, hosted on Cloudflare Pages. All interactive tools use vanilla JavaScript — no heavy frameworks.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fscr4jfy67j0xft5cwjjl.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fscr4jfy67j0xft5cwjjl.png" alt=" " width="800" height="358"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0wywrs4mebcj7v586xk9.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0wywrs4mebcj7v586xk9.png" alt=" " width="800" height="352"></a></p> <p>What's next:<br> Multi-language support, world clock map, sunrise/sunset times.<br> Check it out: hourzone.io<br> Feedback welcome!</p> webdev opensource productivity javascript
