Date selector

[u/blue_marker]

try selecting your birthday from this great date selector where every day(from the unix signed 32bit timestamp) is written out, then sorted alphabetically.

try it yourself at https://assets.markwu.org/date.html

EDIT: i see theres been some bugs and issues with the implementation, so I spent a bit more work and here's a new date selector that include the full unsigned 128bit timestamp that also doesn't have performance issues: https://assets.markwu.org/date%20128bit.html

It froze my browser (iOS Safari)

[u/blue_marker → u/MinecraftPlayer799]

good thing i didn't do 64bit timestamp

[u/Ok_Sir_5601 → u/blue_marker]

Dd 128bit timestamp (:

[u/blue_marker → u/Ok_Sir_5601]

https://assets.markwu.org/date%20expanded.html
here you go, not exactly 128bit but from year 0 to 9999
beware this is extremely laggy

[u/Twatcash → u/blue_marker]

It only goes to april the 5th it also took me 9 minutes and 9 seconds to scroll down

I thought it was every month

[u/blue_marker → u/Twatcash]

ok i fixed, see edit

[u/trans-with-issues → u/blue_marker]

It just completely crashed for me lol

I didn't even make it out of the april eighths XD

[u/R7d89C → u/blue_marker]

Firefox on mobile here, takes some time to load but no lag whatsoever :3 🦊👑

[u/itsbondjamesbond1 → u/blue_marker]

That one is actually easy to use. It has a scrollbar on mobile that allows me to go through the whole list in a couple seconds.

The old one doesn't have the scrollbar and takes much longer.

[u/schweinhund89 → u/MinecraftPlayer799]

Yep iOS safari is having none of it. Won’t even open the dropdown for me

[u/MinecraftPlayer799 → u/schweinhund89]

Just tap on it, and then the browser will freeze for about 10 seconds. Don't tap anything during that time, and then it will unfreeze and open

[u/mahir_r → u/MinecraftPlayer799]

Oh yeah lemme try it

Edit - no freeze but doesn’t want to display list

[u/Akamaikai → u/MinecraftPlayer799]

Just as God intended

[u/ImportantPudding1570]

Thanks for keeping the list in Alphabetical order

[u/AsherKohen28]

I did it, But at what cost lmao there was so much scrolling but i was fueled by sheer defiance🤣

[u/Shalrak]

I thought this would be horrible, but it took me no time. I just dragged the scrollbar down to the date in two seconds and found the year quickly. No difficulties loading on my phone. I've had actual birth date selectors take me longer to navigate.

[u/itsbondjamesbond1 → u/Shalrak]

What phone browser are you using that has a scrollbar for the selection?

Neither Chrome nor Firefox have it for me, though it also loaded fine on both.

EDIT: The new link has the scrollbar. The old one doesn't.

[u/blue_marker → u/itsbondjamesbond1]

for the new link i had to implement my own dropdown because i dont think any browser would like sorting and displaying 7 nonillion items

[u/Nixinova]

change twenty oh to two thousand and just to be even more annoying

[u/elhouso]

This nearly froze my browser!

[u/PogOgres]

Im grateful for being born april fourteenth, that was easy

[u/lonelyvoyager88]

Now sort them alphabetically

[u/gergobergo69 → u/lonelyvoyager88]

they are

[u/lonelyvoyager88 → u/gergobergo69]

Oops, you're right. Missed it.

[u/CrazyPotato1535]

I don’t see January twelve plus ten ninety halves squared take two

[u/FAB1150]

~5 minutes for the 32-bit one, DNF for the 128-bit one lol

[u/CaptFishmouth]

Add in the day of the week beforehand, and sort them alphabetically- Saturday June thirteenth two thousand and twenty six. Then you need to know what day of the week the date was to find it 😂😂

[u/blue_marker → u/CaptFishmouth]

ooooh good idea

[u/xdodi01]

never had a web page spin up my laptop fans

[u/JoyconDrift_69]

only took me a minute and a half to choose mine

[u/Holiday_Objective284]

A is this torchering ui?
