react-native-datetimepicker

`react-native-datetimepicker` is one of the modules that originally lived in the react native core, and was extracted into a separate repository where it continues to live now.

This is better for the package - development can be done faster, independently of the core which is released only once in a few months. Also, issues get much better visibility and are focused to just this package.

There is one apparent downside: it is the community of React Native developers who is now responsible for its maintenance - not Facebook employees. Since you're reading this, you're probably part of that community 🙂

### Why support us

The number of missing features and bugs is high and there is a lot of work to be done to bring this library into shape. This is why we're asking for financial backing: it'll help us to address bugs, bring new features and provide support in issues.

React Native community needs a solid datetimepicker and react-native-datetimepicker needs the React Native community to back it up 🙌

### What we managed so far

Since the repository lives on its own, current maintainers have been able to make a lot of progress on it, such as

- `minuteInterval` implementation on Android, which does not have this feature natively and [adding it was not trivial](https://github.com/react-native-datetimepicker/datetimepicker)
- [support for iOS 14](https://github.com/react-native-datetimepicker/datetimepicker/pull/246) without which picker would not look as expected on latest devices
- numerous improvements to build infrastructure (including automated releases) and end-to-end tests which allow us to ship new versions with confidence
