While looking around for datepicker libraries, I came across this helpful guide on how you can use native datepickers for most, if not all, required datepicker functionality. Sure, it may not be as flashy as the JS enhanced or framework alternatives, but still worth considering IMO.

Also: Firefox on desktop supports time input but does not provide a time picker. This is very confusing in the datetime input where you only see a date picker but then have to type the time manually. There is a long-standing issue open about this.
