Comment on Visualizing Time Zones

Ha! I didn't even notice this got submitted here.

Background, for the record:

1. It is alpha alpha ALPHA.

2. We built it for the iPad specifically, and Safari/Webkit generally.

3. It has no images. All webkit-specific CSS. All those gorgeous gradients! I gave Thomas and a PSD and he made the magic happen.

4. It has no JavaScript framework.

5. It gzips down to under 3K.

This evening Thomas added Firefox support. Naturally, Firefox's CSS styles for gradients are not as nice (and, naturally, different syntax) than the Webkit ones.

We plan to do more things with it. This was really a proof of concept. I was surprised it got such wide circulation already...

... although considering the alternative "tools" in this space, I guess I shouldn't be.

Thanks guys!
