Spacetime 2.0 — Work hour and time zone management for distributed teams.
Spacetime allows your team to set their work hours and automatically detects and handles time zone conversions for you.
It moves conversations like “what time is it for you?” and “when do you start your day tomorrow?” into a simple dashboard and Slack bot.

@endtwist any chance you're thinking of creating a MacOS menubar view for spacetime? Would love to have the ability to quickly check my teammates schedules from my menubar rather than have to go to a tab in my browser

Hey PH!
I’m Josh. We started Spacetime back at the end of 2016 as an experiment to help our remote team here at Planetary better understand when we’re all “in the office.”
We’ve previously shared it on ProductHunt to a warm reception. Since then, to our surprise, thousands of users and teams have signed up for Spacetime.

We’ve completely overhauled the product and are launching Pro today, which allows you to add non-Slack (or Slack guest) users to your workspace, group teammates into teams, and set different work hours for each day of the week.
Our team is really excited to put this out there—for PHers, we’re offering a 40% discount on Pro for the next few weeks. The discount is automatically applied if you click through to the website from here.
We’re all here to listen to your feedback and would love to know what you think.

@smalter Hey Walter! We decided that we wanted to keep our core offering free. Spacetime is best experienced with multiple teammates and by keeping the baseline features free, teams and online communities can get the full experience. The other new features, which expand on the product, are part of the Pro plan.
@endtwist It's funny I looked very hard for something like this but couldn't find the product that did exactly what I wanted. What I really really want is this "translation" (let's assume I'm in PT and you're in ET and that Slack provides that timezones to you or it's in the spacetime settings):
What I see/type:
david: Hey @endtwist can you chat at 3pm tomorrow?
josh: Can we do slightly later, say 4pm?
What you see/type:
david: Hey @endtwist can you chat at 6pm tomorrow?
josh: Can we do slightly later, say 7pm?
@daflatow While we can't quite do message editing like that (yet!), Spacetime comes very very close to what you're looking for:
(Spacetime can also post that in a threaded reply, so it's less disruptive to the chat.)

Takes the extra step up of considering timezones out of the question! Does this work with emails- these features would work stellar in B2C interactions as well.
@evan_palmer1 Hey Evan! Email integration wasn't something we had considered yet—how would you see it working for you?
@endtwist It could be as simple as creating a Chrome Ext. that translates timezones in messages based on where the sender is or context in the email ( Not that this is a simple build) I just see this application being useful in my outbound efforts as well.
Ex.
Client Sends: "...thanks for reaching out @endtwist, I am free at 3pm PST..."
Spacetime User Sees:"...thanks for reaching out @endtwist, I am free at [6pm EST]"
