💾 Archived View for taoetc.org › adding_rsvpd_events_to_my_calendar › index.gmi captured on 2021-11-30 at 20:18:30. Gemini links have been rewritten to link to archived content
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I recently added support for RSVP posts to my static site generator, allowing me to confirm my participation in IndieWeb events.
To create a new RSVP I run:
nb new -t rsvp "RSVPing to an event"
This will create a new directory and open my editor with this template:
subject: RSVPing to an event summary: keywords: rsvp-url: rsvp-name: rsvp-answer:
After populating the fields and optionally adding more content I can build the Gemini and HTML versions of my blog:
nb build
This command will fetch the page of the event (rsvp-url) and try to parse the information from an h-event microformat. If the information is found, the event is automatically added to my calendar.
The last step is publishing the post:
nb publish
This will push the HTML pages to an S3 bucket and the Gemini pages to an FTP server. More importantly, it will send a webmention to the event page, confirming my participation.
