     @jeromechoo

     the other day I asked @buttondown to add ics support (to allowlist it as a valid attachment) 🤓

     I’ll try it! I think that’ll get me halfway to what I want

     @heycaseywattsup why not just use any old newsletter service and send people ICS files semi-manually?

     Eventbrite also doesn't require signup for attendees, though RSVPing is a bit more involved since you have to "buy" tickets.

     is there any "no account / mailing list" service that ALSO does events?

     by "does events" I mean
     * offers to add events to their calendars (sends an .ics file attachment?)
     * sends reminders to events they RSVP to

     Is there some FOSS (or even proprietary!) software that does this?

     I want to communicate to people who don't like to create accounts, they're like this:
     * people want to hear about events (improv, Zumba, etc)
     * they WILL sign up to a mailing list
     * but they will NOT "create an account"

     For an example, Substack does this for newsletters! You can "sign up to a newsletter" before creating an account (but Substack is not events-focused)
