Thanks for taking time to read the post.  
In my preferences I like things to work in a certain way without too many tinkering, configurations or key combinations to remember. Hence I don't need dates as plain text, different date formats, drag and drop or all the features your plugin offers. I only use the datepicker to pick a date by clicking on it and that will be added as a `[[Wiki Reference|with Alias]]`.

The Logseq journal approach is just the concept of treating dates as pages of your journal so you get the reference of whatever you wrote for that date.

I may try to play with your [Sleek interactive Floating Journal Calendar - #37 by Mr.Red](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/sleek-interactive-floating-journal-calendar/3680/37) , it feels like a silverbullet implementation for the journals plugin of Logseq [GitHub - xyhp915/logseq-journals-calendar: A journals calendar for Logseq. · GitHub](https://github.com/xyhp915/logseq-journals-calendar). I think it can get handy to navigate previous journal pages. Currently I use silversearch and its working fine. I can search by alias. Although I just have a month of journal pages , lets see how things will look like in a year 😅.

So to make things easier for other people to follow along:

- If someone wants to easily navigate journal pages through a calendar use the Floating Journal Calendar from Mr.Red. It provides way more features and configurations to fit more needs.
- If your workflow has the journal page as a "first-class citizen" so you mostly write on the journal and your index page is a journal page, and you feel the same fear as me of "configuration hell" 😅, probably you'll be better of overriding `/tomorrow` command to add the date as reference and `/datepicker` to do the same.

Nevertheless the two approaches are not mutually exclusive. They can probably live together. And certainly there many other ways to do the same.
