Date picker is broken, also it is really slow webpage for what it is doing. Every web developer in 2024 and forwartd should have average device released at least 10 years ago to understand that what they are writing these deys using this horrendous web frameworks is unusable on these devices.
- vallode 3y agoComplaining about this as well, I think entering day/month with keyboard is fine but the website completely freezes upon entering year and skips some digits entirely after many seconds of waiting. I'm on an old thinkpad, I get it, but I think everyone should keep an older device around just to demo their projects on because it helps catch such simple bottlenecks.
- kvakvs 3y agoAs you click the date picker, it updates entire page for that incomplete date, and it QUEUES dates for more update, even if you manage to click the correct year, it continues slowly through every year you touched/scrolled before that.
- marssaxman 3y agoThere's something even more broken about it than that, though; I couldn't get the date to go any earlier than 1991, because the scroller would keep resetting itself back to 1993. Don't understand it.
- petemilly 3y agoThanks for pointing this out (all comments in this subthread). I just updated the date picker to only re-render the grid of weeks when the input is unfocused (onblur) and avoid the unnecessary intermediate updates. Still more work for me to address lag, but hopefully that helps.
