Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues

...and obviously we're building a workaround. But I'm absolutely flabbergasted that a standard <input type="date"> HTML field, in a standard browser, from a company that bases its reputation good design, could be so dreadful.

The context

I'm the developer for a startup that sells a genetic test to recommend medications for high blood pressure. For medical reasons we need to know our customers' birth date. Most of our customers are in their 60s or older. We've found that many of them use iPads or iPhones. And they're the ones who complain to our customer support that our site is unusable.

The problem

This is a solution to achieve global LaTeX to (approximate) unicode subsitution in any text input on a simple keybind.

This strategy uses unicodeitplus, a tool that replaces LaTeX commands in text with their corresponding unicode characters when supported, replacing text like \alpha + \beta^2 \in R_0 \cup R_1 with α + β² ∈ R₀ ∪ R₁ (and in a more robust manner than unicodeit).

It can be installed with

pipx install unicodeitplus

Or, for my fork with more options

	* Sets up a DOM MutationObserver that watches for elements using undefined CSS

	* avoid using this in production.
	*
	* Usage:
	*
	* import cssCheck from './checkForUndefinedCSSClasses.js'
	*
	* // Call before DOM renders (e.g. in <HEAD> or prior to React.render())
