People comparing city times juggle limited clocks and separate tools
People who track or compare multiple cities’ local times may have to click to see extra clocks, work within a small clock limit, or switch to other services. Some comparison tools also lack date selection or a shareable link, making it harder to check a particular past or future date or reuse a set of cities. The database-migration complaint is related to time zones but describes a separate technical problem.
For people who regularly compare multiple cities’ local times. Mentioned from Jan 2024 to Sep 2025 on Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

Feature request -- please make it possible to bookmark or share a link with my selected timezones
