You do realise that some designer type is going to think that it is really cool and fits their brand and use it?

ImpractiCal Date Picker

Yeah, it even comes with the cheesy name. Managers will love it.

As far as I could tell, you were holding the button, and I thank you for not making the user click repeatedly. If that was clicking, you don’t deserve to be making a UI

Thanks for the source code. This should be mandatory with these silly threads.

I love that you took the time to add in leap years and do it properly (as far as I can tell).

My only suggestion for improvement is to add hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. Then the arrow will increase and decrease by the millisecond.

I shit you not I recently downloaded an app that I was required to use. And was required to set up an account for. That app used a date picker very similar to this. I had to tap on my screen more than 300 times to select my birth date. There was no way around this.

the main question i have here is why did you take 19th september 10AD to be your day 0? especially for a date of birth picker, not many people make it past 100, is it really likely there are people over 2000 years old?
