I built an app called PocketCal for easily sharing dates!

pocketcal.com
PocketCal - Pick dates, share a link.
Pick dates, share a link, and that's your calendar. PocketCal is a free, open-source web app that lets you select dates and instantly share them. No accounts, just a link, and nothing in your way.

If you have uv installed this means you can start chatting with a small model without first installing anything at all - this command will create an ephemeral virtual environment, install the necessary pieces and start a chat UI running in your terminal:

uvx --with llm-smollm2 llm chat -m SmolLM2
