Man fuck Apple for not allowing custom Apple Watch faces >:(

Always the crippled operating system limiting the potential of their amazing hardware

The “Solar Dial” face does pretty much what the site does.

Nice. I've been making a version of this that I submitted to ycombinator, testing the thesis "If we schedule our life around the sun including afternoon naps" we perform better.

Check it out and give me feedback. It has a long ways to go.

https://editor.p5js.org/rhemalinder/full/im3tyPBDW - I made this one for myself and it's pretty similar.

I have this hard-coded to south dakota, but it looks like this and I made it a while ago. Same idea, except I turn it such that "solar noon" is at the top.

Think 12 noon is really "high noon" or solar noon? Nope, not unless you are in the center of a timezone!

> Nope, not unless you are in the center of a timezone!

… and you do not live with daylight saving time.

This is neat! Would love the ability to make "true noon" be at the top of the clock, instead of 12.

I would prefer if it showed a regular 12 hours clock face and show the upcoming sunrise or sunset, or two faces one for each.
