Ability to specify my time zone.
Time would get displayed in my local time.

Useful for events I take part in remotely, for instance videoconferences.

Good one! For now, dates and times are timezone agnostic in Kyélà : their meaning is left to the users, who implicitely agree on what a "time" is.
I think about two things that prevented me from implementing timezones :

  • Daylight savings : someone in CEST entering a datetime for a winter event would expect this date to be in CET, not CEST.
  • Times without dates : some poll can ask "What time suits you best for everyday lunch ?". Answers would be 12:00 / 12:15 / 12:30 / 12:45. There is no date, and timezone is implicit.

While timezones are necessary for people connected to international friends, they are a hassle for other people. Do you see a user friendly way to address all these use cases ?
