Summary

It turns out different systems handle the webcal:// protocol differently. MacOS prompts you to open the calendar app, which is good except when you don't want to use Calendar.app. Windows handles it differently and doesn't seem to handle it correctly at all. To get around this, we should add multiple ways to export the calendar and also add instructions for adding to to different calendar managers.

Ways we should support:

• Exporting a .ical file. This functionality is already in the app, it just needs to be connected to a button.
• Subscription via webcal:// (what we do now)
• Just show the https:// link to the calendar endpoint so users can subscribe to it manually
