How do I find a meeting time that works across time zones?

List each person with their city and their working days and hours. Sol converts every candidate half hour of the next fortnight into each person's own local time and keeps the ones that fall inside everybody's working window, soonest first. Where no such time exists it says so, and offers the times that ask the least of anyone — naming who is asked and by how much.

Can people answer a meeting proposal without an account?

Yes. The proposal link carries the exact instants and each member's zone, so anyone who opens it sees the options in their own local time and can mark each one yes, maybe or no. Their answer travels back as a short link they send to the organiser; nobody registers and nothing is stored on a server.

What does the calendar file contain?

One RFC 5545 event at the confirmed instant, whose description lists every member's own local weekday and time, so nobody has to convert anything twice.

Working days and hours are each person’s own, read on their own clock. Everyone starts at 8:00 to 18:00, the hours a distributed team is usually reachable, not a contract; narrow each one to what that person actually keeps. An address is optional, stays on this device, and never enters your account, a link, a proposal or a calendar file.

How it knows.

A time zone is a rule about the sun, so the only honest way to compare two working days is to carry one instant onto every person’s own clock. Sol walks the next fourteen days in half-hour steps, converts each candidate into each member’s local weekday and minute, and keeps the ones that fall inside every member’s working window: soonest first, and spread apart so the options are genuinely different. When no such time exists it says so, and the options shown are the ones that ask the least of anyone, each naming who is asked and by how much.

Answers stay in the browser that made them; there is no server here to collect them. A recipient sends their answer back as a short link, and opening that link is what brings it to the organiser’s page. Working hours and addresses never travel in a proposal: only the exact instants, each person’s name and their zone.
