So do you mean instead of going to school/work at eg. 9:00 UTC you would go to work at 10:00 UTC+1? In other words, nothing would change except that in summer everything starts an hour later than it does now? That only works if your school system and company/customers allow this freedom. Oftentimes they don't.
If you mean something else, could you clarify? I'm curious regarding this topic.
Sorry for the late reply, I just read yours, this app is still a bit of a mystery to me. My work allows for flexible working hours, so there's no problem there. But in the wake of a decision to stay with Summer Time year round I would suppose that the starting times of businesses and schools would be up for debate. Especially for schools, as these already presently do not lign up with the sleep cycles of students, they only match those of the teachers. It's funny how introduction of Summer Time has convinced through being confusing. When the plan would have been to ask everyone to come in one hour earlier during summer, a lot of people would have protested. By setting the clock one hour later it has gotten authority and nobody was sure which way the hour difference was supposed to go. Later or earlier? People are still not sure after all these years.
