The built in Rails tools for selecting dates are adequate, but just barely. Most people are used to ticking dates off on calendars rather than choosing from a bunch of pulldown menus for year, month, day, and so on. Still, I’m lazy so that’s still what I’m using in most places.
Luckily, today I found a decent list of several date pickers. I haven’t tried any of them out yet, but any one of them would surely give Obsidian Portal a bit of a usability boost.

Thanks for the list, I’m a big fan of the Dynarch calendar (the first one in the article). So much so that I wrote a Rails plugin that uses it. I hope you or one of your readers finds it useful.
