slides:none on file

Builds a reusable Add to Calendar button using React and Tailwind CSS that actually generates links for multiple services via the calendar-link package and opens them in a new tab. Implements a styled dropdown with a fade-in animation, SVG icons, and outside-click closing using refs and React hooks. Covers practical setup fixes, performance considerations, and modern browser options like the Popover API. Code and a working demo are provided in the linked GitHub repo.
