Nice tool. Emacs has time zones and date arithmetic in calc https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/calc/Time-Zones.html
"without resorting to writing elisp" but you wrote it in elisp. I don't understand.
Emojis in source - what fun! Did not know.

"without resorting to writing elisp"
Sorry, I meant for the user to add new timezones or cities without having to write elisp (ie. setq).
To get the two features this package offers, an end user must write custom elisp (or use this package).
Personally I love the visual presentation, but adding a city blocks the main thread for minutes which is just not okay. Also the granularity of the time zone selection needs some design — it's odd to sort through dozens of neighborhoods in Berlin just to choose, you know, Berlin. I'm going to have to write some elisp.

Something's up here. It should take seconds (like a few).
Could be that emacs <30 is far slower at handling those 34MB at some stage of the processing.

Emacs 30 Update: libjansson is out; it’s been replaced with a builtin JSON encoder and decoder that is much faster still. If you’re compiling Emacs 30+, you can safely disregard the libjansson instructions below.
