Hey there, i have been using mdbootstrap for all my projects and websites now, and i don't know if this is the right place to report this but it just came to mind. The date picker plugin is flawed. Its great for setting dates a few months in front and back but setting dates like birthdays that goes back years on the picker is a hustle. You have to click the left arrow to change months backwards until you finally reach the previous year which i think shouldn't be so. It should allow me click on the year and a drop up or drop down list of years appear for me to choose from and same goes for the months. Days are just fine. i often to have to use third party material design date plugins to get a desired user interaction with date picking done right. Please please fix it. Thanks. I love MDB though.
