[Remind-Fans] making your .reminders visible on a web site

Tue Oct 5 21:43:29 EDT 2021

I didn't see the beginning of this thread. But I built a PHP application 
to display a calendar based on your reminders file. See 
https://gitlab.com/paulmfoster/calendar . You're welcome to download, 
use and make comments. Administration is done through editing your 
reminders file (in a terminal).
