The calendars created with Kalendae can be attached to any element, even an unnamed one, and is fully stylable with CSS.

Kalendae’s instances can have blacked-out dates, preselected dates, and so on; plus, the library provides a thought-out callback system that’s very useful for complex operations regarding data.

XDate, even as seen from a brief glimpse, seems to add a lot of functionality to the native date function:

  • An API for subtracting and adding amounts of time to a given date;
  • Chaining support;
  • Useful GET functions for reducing code clutter;
  • Several utilities for manipulating your XDate objects.

The library is also quite lightweight, at 7kb (2.9kb gzipped).

There are countless jQuery calendar plugins, but this one is the first I’ve seen for actual time, not datetime picking.

Timepicker could prove useful for both to-do-list-like web apps and for everything else where somewhat exact timing is important.
