🥝 Kiwi Calendar

View it live at https://kiwical.deno.dev/

Serverless¹ calendar written in Typescript for Deno Deploy, inspired by the zerocal project.

The name

Why the name kiwi? My thinking went like this: "Calendar... I use the Thunderbird calendar... Thunderbird is a flightless bird. Zero is like 'flightless'. Kiwis are also flightless."

Project structure

The integral files are:

• kiwi.ts - handles the request routing and building the ics data
• view.html - create the UI served at /cal. Raw HTML is refreshing²
• view.js - minimal UX improvements, updating the curl as form fields change

Built with

• Deno Deploy
• Sift router for Deno
• Simple ICS
• MVP.css
• Use Emoji as favicon

Footnotes

1. This was controversial in the HackerNews comments ↩

2. I think there is some kind of raw HTML movement that I remember reading about on HackerNews. If you know what I mean and share a link as a Github issue, I'd appreciate that a lot. ↩
