Time war erupts!
Show HN: Time Keep – Location timezones, timers, alarms, countdowns in one place
One place for clocks & timers lands; commenters fight over $7, fonts, and clutter
TLDR: Time Keep bundles clocks, timers, alarms, and Discord timestamp conversions in one app, with optional $7/month device sync. Comments split between price shock, font/UI nitpicks, and fears of feature creep, while some praise no‑signup simplicity and shared countdowns that show the right time for everyone.
Meet Time Keep, a web app that throws all your time stuff into one always-open hub: world clocks, timers, alarms, countdowns, a stopwatch, breaks, a sleep planner, and even Discord timestamps that convert to local time. It works without sign‑up; you can sign in to save settings, and a $7/month Pro tier adds live sync across your devices. Shared countdown links show the right time for every viewer. Built with Next.js (a web framework), Supabase (a cloud database), Clerk (a login service), and Vercel (hosting).
But the crowd came for drama. Shank launched the biggest firework: pay $7 to sync a few numbers? Price outrage became the subplot of the day. Meanwhile, ashwinnair99 asked if this “do‑everything clock” will stay clean or slide into clutter—cue the eternal feature‑creep fight. Design became a battlefield too: seboapps called the UI “overwhelming,” blaming the serif font, while lazerbones started “pointergate” asking for, yes, the mouse to look like a link on buttons. Brajeshwar loved the polish but admitted they default to local apps they can remember. Translation: fans like the idea, skeptics won’t pay unless it’s unforgettable. One bright spot: those shared countdowns that auto‑localize earned nods from organizers juggling global teams.
