 ## Goal
 Develop a single-file, client-side web application that generates an interactive timezone comparison table to help distributed teams find optimal meeting times across 2-5 global locations, with exportable markdown formatting for easy sharing.
 
+Users can generate a URL which includes the timezones they have added
+and the names they have assigned to each timezone. This link can be
+shared and viewed by anyone on the internet.
