I see you have a weather feature that predicts temperatures for the day. How about showing that info on the clock itself, maybe as color coding? Some ideas for other useful info that you can hang on your clock: (1) tide info indicated by a ring of varying width could be cool looking, (2) a second time zone so you can coordinate with a distant person. I did add this second time zone to my www.dayspiral.com clock, it even shows a green line where both people will be awake. (3) appointments?

Nice work! Getting the moon info is a challenge, isn't it? My first sun clock was written in C++ in the 1990s. I decided to stick with a 12-hour clockface mainly because people are so much more familiar with them. The concept for my Steampunk clock comes from the early 2000s. It's amazing what you can do in 3d these days in javascript!

Tip, you can rotate and zoom the steampunk clock - try zooming in on the gears! Click the "Show interface" at lower left to see all the options or switch clocks.

Do you love weird clocks like I do? Check out my https://steampunkclock.com! That's weird for you - based on the spirograph concept. There are actually three clocks in there; you can get to the others directly at https://mobiusclock.com and the most useful one, https://dayspiral.com that shows your local time of sunrise and sunset, all with a 12-hour clock face. How did I cram 24 hours of info into a 12 hour clockface, you ask? I used a 2-turn spiral!

Check out https://www.steampunkclock.com - a concept inspired by a drawing toy called a spirograph. I originally coded it in c# over 10 years ago, but was able to port to the web via mostly vibe coding, and even go 3D! Brass, copper, rusty steel, gears and more gears! Really Quite Prodigious my dear chap! Drag to rotate, with zoom etc. I used google antigravity mainly for this recent work. Hope you like it. from Charlie Wallace of Carlsbad CA.

I downloaded Antigravity this morning and was able get this Mobius Clock debugged in a few minutes - then for the heck of it added a whole list of features! I'm blown away by how fast you can work. Yes, there were a series of problems, as expected whenever you attempt hard stuff, but at the end of the day, do check out the improved mobius clock!!! https://www.mobiusclock.com

Very cool! I also love clocks, especially weird ones, and recently put up this 3D Moebius Strip clock, hope you like it: https://www.mobiusclock.com

If you happen to have an old or spare iPad or tablet, you can open my mobius clock page in a browser and set it on a shelf (plugged in of course). Kind of like a weird wall clock...

Just added a new feature: a 'Fast Mode' button to temporarily speed up the hands, which helps visualize how the slow-moving parts work, how the hour indicator moves along the edge. Would love feedback on the implementation.

Check out my project at https://www.MobiusClock.com: A 3D WebGL Clock on a Möbius Strip that shows 24hr time on a 12hr face. The hour indicator follows the edge of the strip, thus must make 2 turns to return to its starting point, giving you a 24 hour clock. The minute and second indicators move along the middle of the strip and thus return to their starting points in only one turn. Has the ability to rotate!

I think Mr. Macintosh should have vaguely resembled Jef Raskin...
