Not sure this scales well to 24 hour clock as used almost everywhere but the US.
Great argument for using the 24h clock ;-)
12-hour timekeeping, perhaps ;-)
Thanks for the feedback! Totally forgot 24-hr clock was a thing, will add that as a option asap
Would be even better with 24-hour clock.
Can we switch to 24h time like sane human beings, too?
That's a lot of mental gymnastics to say 24h clock is easier
24 hour time at the very least! Down with am/pm!
One more reason to switch to 24h time? 0:)
it is. some ppl say 2359 to avoid saying 12am/pm.
