Show professor's office hour times in local time
under review

Just wanted to follow-up here that I saw brilliant beautiful mockups from Cyrus (M22) in the summer of 2021 (Cody's product design intern) with an amazing new office hours display. It had the ability to change time zone, filter by course, display TA office hours, and everything you could ever want. I hope it can be implemented one day!

A generated calendar link or a syncronized automation would be just a dream!

Improve office hours visibility

Finding office hours on Forum is very confusing, partly because all profs have their own system and timezones, but also partly because of Forum’s design. The “All Office Hours” page is not user-friendly (screenshot attached). How can anyone navigate this page easily? The fact that you have to scroll down to find the button that says "All Office Hours" is also a barrier for students. I've discovered that even at the end of their first semester, first-years still don't know when and where to find office hours. It should not be this hard! Can we have a calendar system in Forum so that students can easily view when profs have office hours? The system should accommodate both drop-in times and sign-up slots and be robust to different timezones.
