I'm surprised the article doesn't talk about the <datalist> element. It makes the using the native time input much more user friendly as you can populate it with common times (e.g. Every 30 minutes: 09:00, 09:30, etc... instead of allowing every minute to be selected by default)

It's not quite fully supported in browsers but it's a nice enhancement to those where it works.

It does talk about datalist! Near the end. Maybe they changed the article and added it after you commented?

It doesn't say a ton about it. I'm interested in hearing more about usability of actual current browser implementations of these widgets, with dataalist but also in general.
