What would improve my quality of life is if date pickers used some global cookie mechanism to share recent dates between websites. The number of times I'm looking at flights/hotels around the web and have to keep entering the same date on infuriatingly different date pickers is soul destroying.
At least allow a date to be pasted in and have the logic to accept if the user has entered something thats different from what the backend needs but makes sense for the the current date and their locale: "22 feb" "22/02/2022" "22/2" "2/22" etc
- tehjoker 5y agoThat would make a good browser extension. As a cookie, it would allow all kinds of tracking shenanigans unfortunately.
- pydry 5y agoWould improve mine would be intelligent text parsing of dates with feedback. e.g. : "2 feb" and it says "2 feb, 2022, 6 days from now" write "3/2/2022" and it refuses to validate, but lets you select "2 feb, 2022" or "3 mar 2022" to replace to continue. Date pickers are horrendous UX, IMHO for so many reasons. Text is so much better.
