Looks great in theory, but does not work on Android Firefox unfortunately.

If you want mobile-enabled components like this Ionic has many. Here’s the datetime: https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/datetime
Ionic's is probably one of the best date+time combo (other examples are always strong in one and terrible in the other, time being the thing that often gets short shrift)

I also quite like Quasar's date picker https://quasar.dev/vue-components/date

Though do not even look at their time picker... It's a mess, I roll a custom component for time when I need it.

Ah, these are all quite nice! So much better than the original iOS one that requires tediously scrolling for ages to input anything interesting.

It's good to finally see some innovation in the datepicker space.

Interestingly it lets see both the iOS and Material Design versions of the component.

iOS has a strange combination of arrows to handle the month: right to expand the months dialog, down to close it. It took me a while to understand that the down arrow would bring me back to the calendar. Why not right and left? Maybe it is how it works on a Mac too.

MD and anything else I remember has a down arrow to expand and an up arrow to close.

Damn that is good. Even with the swipe gesture on mobile. I think we are webscale now
just a bit unfortunate that the material design one still has the iOS "wheel" for picking year and month
Not supposed to be used on mobile. These are components to be used for building stuff inside JetBrains.
