Technical details

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

We use TimeZoneDB to provide timezones of locations via their free API.

A Mongo database is used to store all locations that can be used and we have images for. This is hosted on MongoDB Cloud Services.

A Github action is used to daily trigger an update to the gmtOffset field of each location in the locations document, to make sure that we have accurate data, in case a country has a change in timezone (e.g. daylight savings).
