That was pretty light on details. Why havent they tested a date picker widget or used native date pickers on ios/android?

- yohannparis 4y agoI will take a wild guess that they try to only use Web APIs that works everywhere and are consistent.
- MikeTaylor 4y agoConsistent for someone who uses the same site on lots of different devices and browsers. I wonder how many of those there are? Not consistent for someone who uses lots of different sites on one device. There are about seven billion of those. "Consistent experience across devices" is not just a waste of time, it's actively harmful.
- dsjoblom 4y agoHave you tried this in practice? It is extremely awkward to pick a date of birth using a regular date picker. It is worse than all the options mentioned in the article. It is only appropriate for picking dates close to the current date.
