Hi! I'm just reaching out to tell you what an amazing job you've done with this project! 🌟 Stumbling upon your datepicker felt like hitting the jackpot after searching for a very long time. It really checks all the boxes for me.

I hope you don't mind if I use wc-datepicker as the basis for my own personal datepicker project?

I work as an accessibility specialist and have been thinking a lot about inclusive datepickers. A couple of years back I created a proof of concept for a "smarter" datepicker that would allow more ways for the user to enter dates, including via natural language and speech input. E.g

etc.

My proof of concept ( https://github.com/fymmot/inclusive-dates ) received some attention, but I never managed to make it into a reusable component.

Now, finally, I'm building v2 around your datepicker. I have some of the basic functionality down including date parsing but a lot of things still remain before it's viable. If you wanna take a look, it's here:

If you want to talk, you could find me via e-mail (tommy.feldt@useit.se). I would love to collaborate with you around this in any way I can!

All the best, and thank you again!

Hey!

Glad someone finds it useful, and probably shares my frustration with the existing solutions. 😉 Your PoC looks promising. I love the natural language approach. And of course you can use this package as a base. Go for it!
