Many projects listed on that page are API wrappers of the moment-timezone project, and some are integration points for frontend frameworks. Many others are small scripts written by people who clearly haven’t encountered the ambiguities and ever-changing definitions that happen when dealing with time zones. For example, I know of one package that simply returns the UTC offset of a named time zone, but completely fails to account for daylight saving time.

A low barrier to entry means digging a bit to find the good stuff. When it comes to the Node ecosystem, a curated list of known high-quality projects is always better than linking to a keyword search.

The package tz-lookup and geo-tz are independent of each other. As far as I know, the major difference between the two is the data source that is used. geo-tz is released under the MIT license.

Feel free to link to the timezone tag. Although in my opinion a lot of the packages aren't the best because they don't get updated frequently enough with changes to the timezone db.

In looking at <https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/timezone> I see several more
Node.js time zone packages that seem relevant. Perhaps we should link to that page?
