These guys are just killing it, moving fast and building a fantastically engineered service.

  I agree, the support has been fantastic as well. I see so much potential in their offering, I keep hoping they'll open a way for others to contribute modules/libraries in a kind of marketplace. Good tech/product/market fit like this always causes me to get a bit swept up in the excitement - well done guys!

The new date picker certainly looks better than before, but I think the plus and minus buttons are a little confusing. Not sure what will happen when I click plus above November. I assume it will change to December because 11+1=12, but I could also understand why it might change to October (I expect a list of months to go from January at the top to December at the bottom. I would think clicking the button above the month would go up in that list, to October). That minor point aside, great job!

I get that they're showing Android 2.3 (which is still the most popular), or at least I assume it isn't earlier than 2.3, but this is definitely fixed on Android 4.0 and above which would've been nice to mention.

  Interesting! What version of Android / device did you take that screenshot with? In general it doesn't appear to be fixed: http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-datetime http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-datetime And I verified it just now in an Android 4.1 emulator going to this url to test: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_date http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_in...

    It works fine with chrome, but not with the default browser. IIRC from 4.2 the default browser will be chrome as well.

    Works fine in the stock browser ("Internet") on my 4.1 Galaxy Note II: http://www.imgur.com/AqPFw.png http://www.imgur.com/AqPFw.png

Mobiscroll looks great in the Android browser (and on lots of others) http://demo.mobiscroll.com/ http://demo.mobiscroll.com/ - working hand in hand with jQuery Mobile.
