Show HN: The Alphabetical Clock

I made an alphabetically-organised clock. I am sorry.

This is the kind of thing that's completely useless and I absolutely love it. Bookmarked.

the combined mode sorting all 43,200 possible times alphabetically is the real commitment.eight comes before eleven so 8am hits before 11am alphabetically the day is completely scrambled genuinely useless and genuinely delightful.

Great idea! I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).

Super Cool, Love it. I love new clock designs, here is my try https://triclock.franzai.com/

> "In Combined mode, every possible time (43,200 of them) is spelled out, sorted alphabetically" Why limit yourself? — make a 24-hour version and you have 86,400 possible times!

I have seen teams spend months fine-tuning retrieval algorithms when the real issue was that their ingestion pipeline was feeding HTML boilerplate into the vector store. Fix the input first.

Reminds me of Lord Vetinari's Clock: The clock in Lord Vetinari’s anteroom didn’t tick right. Sometimes the tick was just a fraction late, sometimes the tock was early. Occasionally, one or the other didn’t happen at all. This wasn’t really noticeable until you’d been in there for five minutes, by which time small but significant parts of the brain were going crazy. – Going Postal by Terry Pratchett, page 321

Got me thinking about novel clock designs in digital space - seems like something vibe coding could open the floodgates to :)
