🔍 Project Overview
AnyZone is a streamlined utility tool designed to solve a common problem faced by global teams, remote workers, and international businesses: quickly comparing time zones across different locations. In an increasingly connected world where teams span multiple continents, coordinating meetings and deadlines across time zones can be challenging and error-prone.

The tool eliminates the complexity of traditional time zone converters by providing an intuitive interface that allows users to instantly see what time it is in multiple locations simultaneously, making global coordination effortless.

- Meeting Scheduling Confusion: Difficulty finding suitable meeting times across multiple time zones
- Daylight Saving Time: Automatic handling of DST changes across different regions
- Quick Access Need: Users need instant access without bookmarking complex URLs or navigating through menus
