Looking at the wireframes for the time picker, I have been wondering
about how you plan to distinguish between 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight.
I couldn't find an answer to this in the design pages. Do you plan to
have the AM/PM change to Noon/Midnight when exactly 12:00 o'clock is
displayed? This is probably the best way to get around the usual
confusion on this topic, but it may also be worthwhile to do a bit of
user testing as well.

Hi everyone,
Here is where Allison and I are at regarding Date Picker.
We have tested our initial design with the users using paper
prototypes. The date picker was a familiar and straightforward
interaction to them, whereas the wheel-like time picker wasn't as
popular. Many users thought the hour, minute, and am/pm wheels were
stuck together and rotated together. We think that the users might
have perceived it differently if the visual cues and interaction of a
dynamic implementation were available. Jacob was able to quickly put
together an interactive prototype of the time picker, and we'd like to
test it with the users to see if it's better. We will send out the
link to the prototype when it is ready.
The user testing results are posted here:

The storyboards shown to the users are posted here:

Based on the user feedback, we slightly modified the behaviour of
mouse-overed, selected, and previously selected dates. The new design
is posted here:

We had a productive discussion about the date and time picker with
Antranig and Jonathan at the all-hands. One of the technical concerns
was that since the time picker wheel is fixed around the text field,
it might get cut off when the text field is at the very bottom of the
page. Eli did a quick test and was able to tell us that when the the
time picker pops up at the bottom of the page, the extra area of the
page can become scrollable to show the full length of the time picker.
Some of us thought it would be a good idea to put date and time picker
in one text field/ one pop-up, others thought it would be better to
separate the two. Let us know if you think one interaction or the
other would better suit your use cases or be more usable for your
users. We've also explored the tabbed picker that toggles between date
and time once you've picked them. A rough draft of this idea is shown
at the bottom of this page (also shows a modified version of the time
picker):

Thanks for reading!
More to come,
