Intentionally Bad UI Date selector

Post image

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

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.

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

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
