Hello,

Your project seems very interesting to me. I really like the datepicker in Chrome, it is user-friendly and works good. Therefore I've searched everywhere to find a datepicker like that I could use in other browsers.

Since the current branch doesn't contain a working project, I was wondering if you intent to finish it.

Greetings, Timon

Hello friend,

It's fortunate to meet a person who have the same idea. I have recently update this project with an working example, you can try it. If you are familiar with frontend development, you could customize it's appearance with a bit of css and javascript. Sorry for its bad implementation and too simple project model, but I have try my best to make the code organized more readable, if you have any problem just post an issue, I'll be happy to help. Or if you are a powerful frontend developer, you can re-implement it with some inspiration from these code.

Besides, Chrome's datepicker support keyboard navigation on the calendar panel opening, it's not so hard to implement and also Chrome's datepicker have a far more wide date range, that's the fundamental difference with my datepicker. I use a date pool for drawing process, it's looks fine when I cache 500 years date data, but it's not enough and I know there may/must be a method to prepare all needed info for drawing the canvas in 16ms when every time requestAnimationFrame invoked and I'll improve it soon or later.
