Developer Builds Free Time Zone Planner With No Ads or Sign-Up Required
A developer frustrated with ad-heavy, sign-up-gated time zone tools built a free, open alternative called ZonePlan. The tool allows users to compare up to six time zones simultaneously and suggests fair meeting times that avoid late-night hours for all participants. It covers 92 common time zone abbreviations, including EST, IST, PST, and GMT, across 92 static SEO-friendly pages. Built in roughly three days using Next.js and the JavaScript Intl.DateTimeFormat API, the app runs entirely client-side with no backend or database. The creator now uses the meeting planner daily to coordinate calls across the US, India, and Europe.
