You need a browser and a file. In your example you need a server to make the file and and a browser.

True, but for others to resolve the calendar entries you'd need to serve that file somewhere.

/me glances at serverless in the title. Man, I would not want to have to technically design anything with you. You can't just say a thing is something and then say "oh well it's not actually but it could've been if I had made it entirely differently." ...

Why do we need a vCalendar file generator? The output of your app is a vCalendar file which is then imported into a Calendar app either manually or through the integration of email and calendar services. So in the end, people still have to use a calendar app. It is much easier to create an event on a calendar app and send the invitation which is actually sending emails with a vCalendar file as an attachment. Besides that, most calendar apps allow exporting the event as a vCalendar file also.

FYI: the text on your blog post is cropped on my small screen (iPhone SE), and scrolling doesn’t even help, so its essentially unreadable.

Thanks for the info. I thought I fixed that lately [1]. I don't have an iPhone to test it with but I'll see what I can do. At least on the Chrome viewport emulator it looks fine to me... https://github.com/mre/endler.dev/commit/bc1187d290d153455b0...

Not sure if it’s the problem, but MDN says Safari doesn’t support “overflow-wrap: anywhere”.

I’d actually never heard of overflow-wrap :)
