Include default alerts in the ICS files #69

The calendar events currently does not have configured alerts. Alerts will make this solution a lot more useful

Hi, thanks for reaching out! Right now it is possible to add alerts, although you have to do them in your calendar app, they're not something controlled by the calendar subscription (unfortunately).

If you're using google calendar, see if this link helps you out. Otherwise you'll usually get a dialog box when you subscribe to the calendar, and there should be an option there to configure when you want notifications/alerts.

Hope that helps! If it doesn't, please let me know what calendar service you're using (Google Calendar, Apply Calendar, Outlook, etc) and I'll try help out.

On further investigation, the ICS format does support "alerts" although it not clear how supported these alerts are. I'll look into it a bit more and add it as a feature if it would work out.

This is dependent on support from https://github.com/hoodie/icalendar-rs/issues/48
