Cool. I see the date picker has been fixed - thanks muchly & thanks for putting this out there.
In terms of feedback :) I gave it a shot. The only one that had a native date picker component (on my setup) was Chrome. The polyfill version didn't seem fully operational (just an overflow list of the same date?).
The Chrome native suffers from the same UX snafu that so many Date Pickers do - it's fine for relative dates, but terrible for absolute ones. If you want to schedule an event in a week it's great. Or of you want to search for flights.
However, if you want to enter a Date of Birth, it's terrible. You have to scroll through hundreds of months to get to the year you want.
So maybe you fall back to typing? In the native picker in Chrome, you can muddle through the day/month piece, but you can't type a straight year. e.g. start by typing "19" for "1975" and it'll match "1909". This also makes it impossible to enter a date in the 2000's!
You do get a "spinner" that might let you set the year, but the buttons are so small I think it defies practical usability.
Bah! Interestingly the iOS version does not suffer from this gripe as has a slot-machine three drum date selector. It does default to today, but it's pretty easy to move +/-50 years in either direction.
Sorry, that was a genuine rant. I know this is not intrinsic to Brick, but for me a universal Date Picker is #1 bugbear that I'd like it to solve.
(* The Chrome one also defaulted to the wrong timezone. Clicking "today" selected the wrong date.)
