I built a small tool that generates Discord timestamps.
Discord has a built-in feature where you can embed timestamps in messages using a format like:
<t:1700000000:F>
When sent, Discord automatically converts the time to each user's local timezone. This is really useful for global communities, events, and announcements.
The problem is that you first need to convert a normal date into a Unix timestamp and format it correctly. If you just want to quickly schedule an event, that step can be a bit inconvenient.
So I made a simple generator that converts a date directly into the correct Discord timestamp format.

You can pick a date and it instantly generates the timestamp with different Discord display formats, plus a quick preview.
It's a tiny side project but I found it useful when managing Discord communities.
Feedback welcome!
Also, if anyone here works with Twitter/X embeds, I previously built a small Twitter web viewer that lets you view tweets without login:

A bit more context on why I built this:
I run a few Discord communities and I kept needing to announce events across time zones. Discord timestamps solve this nicely (<t:timestamp>), but generating the Unix timestamp manually every time felt unnecessarily annoying.
So the goal of this tool was just to remove that small friction, pick a date/time and copy the correct format instantly.
I tend to like small utility tools that solve one problem well. This is similar to another small project I built earlier (the Twitter web viewer) where the goal was simply to make something easier to use. Thank you guys!
