For our app, the old iOS spinner actually works really well, because the targets tend to be in the near temporal vicinity (plus or minus a week) and minute resolution is just right. I'm not seeing anything in M3 like this. Just large independent date or time pickers, none that put the two together. I really don't want to roll my own (not even sure my skill is up to that yet). Can anyone recommend any solid 3rd party implementations of something like this. I'm not beholden to this display format. Just looking for an inline way to select date, and time coincidently to a minute resolution.

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll have a go at it. And hopefully learn some new things in general in the process. And hopefully get some help on the way :D
