Reply to comment by Romanitedomun in Sunrise and sunset times throughout the year, arranged in a circle [OC] by imluke

This one is New York City, but I actually created a program to make them for anywhere in the world (and have posted a few examples in reply to other comments).

You can check out some examples for a few other places on my website.

So it’s basically website to purchase prints and not to create graphs for my desired locations

Can you make one for Longyearbyen, Svalbard? Would be cool to see what it looks like deep in the Arctic circle.

your website is too hard to navigate to generate a graph, do i have to pay before I actually see the map. I'd not mind paying if I like and decide to get a highdef copy of pdf.
Seems like a subtle plugin for a business.

I haven't got it set up to generate them on the website (yet), I make each one with a semi-manual process.

I feel there are enough examples on the website that you can get a good idea of what you're getting.

That makes sense.
My assumption was this was done automatically. Either way you need to get paid if people like your work. But doing it manually makes more sense since you're investing more time to generate. I hoped that was more clearly mentioned in the webapp.

I’m not an expert on web design. But I have experience as a dumb website-user. It took a few reads and clicking around to understand how the whole process works. Maybe have the explanation for the concept in the first page instead of at the bottom of the product description? That’s like a restaurant only letting you know what kind of food they sell after you are already seated.The website itself is beautiful tough, so elegant🤩

Does it account for local daylight saving?

imluke OP t1_ixuotam wrote

Yes, and actually you can choose to show it like this or to have the scale change instead (after all the sun doesn't really change, it's just our clocks).

See the images on the design page of my website to see what I mean.

In the example of NYC op posted you can see dst happening where the graph has a sudden jog and it breaks the smoothness

This is really neat! I've been thinking for a while of creating a visualization like this to explain the consequences of having DST or not for different locations, but never got to it. You almost did all the work for me. The only thing I would personally do is emphasize the 8:00 and 18:00 lines (or something), so it becomes more clear how much daylight we sacrifice and/or gain outside working hours when keeping DST.

Look back at when we tried it in the 70s. It turns out, most of us want sun in the morning. I mean, I agree with you it’s just interesting that we already tried.

I don't care which we choose. Just. Fucking. Pick. ONE. Personally I want later afternoons but I will accept either
