I seem to remember reading in Ember Times recently that there was now an officially recommended date picker add-on. But I can’t remember which one it was! Can anybody else let me know which date picker is the “official” one now please?

I haven’t kept up on some of the recent ember times, but can share my experience of date pickers. We started using [ember-flatpickr](https://shipshapecode.github.io/ember-flatpickr/) in our application and find it quite helpful. I like that it is well documented and actively maintained. It is based on a popular date library so it is more maintainable. You can also check out [ember-pikaday](https://github.com/adopted-ember-addons/ember-pikaday). We use that in a few places as well in our application (but still rely upon some older version). That was recently adopted by the community, so it hopefully will be maintained better long term.
