Post Description

I work with people from multiple time zones and is hard to tell immediately what hour will be appropriate for a meeting or an online chat sync. I was using some web apps but lately they are full of ads.

I thought a quick to use terminal app would help so I've built this. Maybe it can help others too.

I've tinkered a bit with the colors, still not entirely happy with the readability. I am struggling with what seem to be conflicting goals: distinctive non-working hours, better contrast and very compact.
