I'm looking for an ICS feed or RSS or even Fediverse account giving the current day of the Chinese Lunisolar calendar.
If it could include phonetic (English) of the name of day, month and year.
A bit like the main frame of this page:

I'll wish you a Happy New Year when you'll explain why it starts on Jan the 1st. There is no season change, no astronomical event, no specific planet position... on this date. So Why?

➡️ SQLite: a simple database for smol projects

Working on small (or smol) projects often calls for something light and reliable. That's where SQLite comes in. Instead of juggling a heavy client-server setup, it all fits neatly into a single file. There's no extra daemon to run, no complicated configuration to maintain, just a clean, tidy solution that travels easily [...]

I would like to share some tips about #SQLite [...]

The best exciting way I've used for a romance was to share an email mailbox with my lover. We didn't send email with it, we only wrote message and saved them as draft.
No notification, no email transfer, just the impatience to check frequently the content of the draft folder to see if my lover had thought about me 🥰

How many people criticise the security of #xmpp + #omemo, which they say isn't strong enough, and continue to send unencrypted emails to gmail users? 🤔

"XMPP: the forgotten gem of Instant Messaging"

Instant messaging is dominated by mainstream apps today, each with their own ecosystems, closed protocols, and business models based on data collection and user engagement. In this landscape, #XMPP might seem like a relic, yet it offers a powerful, open, and privacy-respecting alternative that deserves more recognition. Despite its versatility and potential, XMPP has struggled to gain the popularity it deserves [...]

Imagine if #Firefox, #Chrome, and their derivatives could render Markdown, AsciiDoc, LaTeX, EPUB, and Gemtext as seamlessly as they handle PDFs. This could revolutionize the way we publish lightweight websites, making it as simple as dropping a text file into a directory.

Simple.css: a minimalist css framework

If building a stylesheet in css from scratch seems too complicated for you, Simple.css is a solution. This lightweight framework stands on HTML elements (and their semantic specs) and not on specific classes. So, your pages can fully follow the smolweb guidelines and get a responsive design that respects the choices of the user such as font sizes and light/dark preference.
