First of all: Thank you very much for this service. It works perfectly!

Just for your info: After looking for ages for a solution, your website seems to be the only way (without hosting a service myself) to sanitize Facebooks ical output to feed it back to Google Calendar. Google's subscription feature has been broken for several months now because it fails parsing some input provided by the feed. So whatever your service does in addition to filtering events, it's also able to sanitize faulty input.

This has been a pet peeve for me for a long time and I'm eternally grateful for your solution!

With your permission, I'd like to share this solution in some of the most visited threads dealing with this topic, so other people can profit as well.

I also suggest you add a donation or "buy me a beer" button :)

Thanks for the kind words and feel free to share it!

Yes it performs some basic sanitizing of the events. One user posted her calendar in #6 and it highlighted a bug with some event formats in Google Calendar which I implemented a workaround for. Btw, updated the readme now with beer me button.
