Date Range component with ranges in the future for tracking incoming events (ex: next 7 days, next month, ...)

[lolcabanon]

Hey! I was wondering why the native Date Range component does not offer to filter by future dates. I can't be the first to need this functionality, right?

Like for example, if I add an entry today (D day) and I already know I will have to do a follow-up in 30 days (D+30). Wouldn't it be nice to add this feature to the Date Range component, so it is actually possible to show a summary of the events due in the near future?

I guess it is possible following this technique to filter the due date by start date and end date, but it's not really convenient (or user-friendly, especially to not-so-tech-savvy users). Since the Date Range component already exist, I guess it would be possible to add preconfigured ranges like "next 7 days", "next 30 days", and so on...

Please let me know!

Thanks :)

Makes sense! The Date Range component itself isn't great being just a fixed dropdown. It would be nicer if you could select a range - which Flatpickr (the date library we use) supports.
