  • react-datepicker

    A simple and reusable datepicker component for React

  • As a developer, there are plenty of ready-made options to choose from. For example, react-datepicker (which almost doubled the bundle size in the case of Helppo) with ~720k weekly installs. Or pikaday (which has promising principles, although a lot of issues and PRs open) with ~210k weekly installs.

  • helppo

    Instant admin UI for your database

  • For Helppo users, I wanted to offer a way to edit date and datetime values more conveniently than with a plain text input. This is of course nothing new; most sites use datepickers for this purpose.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
