Done with all implementations, now waiting for the review

Okay first off, thanks!

I have one major hurdle with the date picker field: it is simply too big for what it brings to the table. It comes with another UI component library to render the calendar and as a result adds 5% to the entire size of the UI, or half a MB! The code wouldn't be loaded until the user brings up the Blockly editor but still. Also when the service worker is involved (if the UI is served using HTTPS) it would be preloaded anyway. The Actions tab has this report:

Since Framework7 has its own date picker so I think it would be best to reimplement our own date picker field using this component instead (similar to the item/thing pickers), shouldn't be too hard to do, I'll give it a try.

I made significant changes and I believe this is now ready for prime time.
Since we'll have a few weekly release candidates until the final 3.2 we'll have some time to test these!
