How can I share an event as easily as possible only through a URL? Ideally, they just click and their calendar app adds the event. Second best is downloading an .ics file. Who hosts such a service?

Is there a FLOSS service that hosts events and can be used to distribute .ics files only with a link?

Is there a solution I am missing? Again, the requirements are:

something that can be shared via a URL only (no files)
something that is agnostic to the calendar provider (so no Google account necessary)
something that is ridiculously easy for someone non-technical and in a hurry

Have you tried the .ics download method?

I thought that the OS would see the ics file and automatically know to open your calendar app to deal with it.
