Im not in anyway UI specialist. Your site looks smooth, I like dark theme, a lot of information is available with howto-videos. Continue building it like you visualize it and know how it should be!

Thanks! I really appreciate the support. You keep building also, visited your site and looked great!

I have done within year few sites what are not taken any interest. Who knows what comes to mind next and if anyone likes that. I have bigger macOS-memory-benchmark(ARM64 assembly routines etc) project on my GitHub what I have been developing almost a year now. I believe that will continue nicely to the future.

This domain I paid up to 2036, so we will see clocksimulator.com long in the web. Just released v1.0.15 of it, introduced local storage for saving settings if user so wants - that will follow my goal to keep site as clean as possible. I love open source and not fan of todays webpages filled with all kind a bloat.

Thank you for coming back to commenting, this thread has been very exiting me to follow and see how people like the page. This brings me memories from the 1994 when I programmed small program to Amiga, then shared it in the BBS and saw it in monthly most download list. This HN Show has brought me close to that awesome feeling again.

That weight really makes it look like our kitchen clock, but sure it will not look like expensive clock. That feature sure will divide opinions I think.

Could you tell more about "but then I saw the l" when you mean by that?
user_timo··on Show HN: Clocksimulator.com – A minimalist, distraction-free analog clock
I'm gonna test this out how it looks, not promising anything!

Thank you! I have always loved UK clock faces, thank you sharing that link.

Thank you for your reply. Sunclock looks nice! I miss analog clock on cars, digital clocks are all around. Maybe I'm old because I read analog clock better than digital, somehow it's easier to visualize time from that. Young generation reads and likes digital clocks more. Maybe digital clocksimulator alternative also who knows...

Thank you for the feedback. You are right, hour hand could be shorter and maybe little bit thicker. I will look on to it.
user_timo··on Show HN: Clocksimulator.com – A minimalist, distraction-free analog clock
Thanks for the feedback, its done.

There is also iFrame support, you can easily now make own local html file with multiple clock on different timezones. Quick also to reload after reboot, since static local file to open. If you end up using this in work, I would love to hear more about it, because then my project would have someone using it:)

There is toggle on top left to choose between tick / sliding seconds.

There is so many nice clocks. I didn't even know analog clocks are so popular!
user_timo··on Show HN: Clocksimulator.com – A minimalist, distraction-free analog clock
Thank you! Good catch, I will look to fix it.

Wow that was a trip for my eyes, nice! Thank you for sharing.

Clock now also moves very slowly in screen, in dark mode it can reduce screen burn.
