Implementation notes (for developers)
- Use IANA time zone database (tzdata) or libraries like tzinfo, moment-timezone, or date-fns-tz.
- Handle ambiguous/skipped local times around DST transitions by showing both possible offsets or prompting for UTC offset.
- Cache zone metadata and update tzdata regularly.
- Provide fallback UTC input/output for robustness.
Concise benefit
- Fast, reliable conversions that reduce scheduling errors and save time when coordinating across time zones.
