Custom Discourse instance for a writers club

Regarding importing a calendar subscription into google calendar, it seems that private category events won’t show up:

I’d like to implement this feature at some point and I see any restricted category displays a link to generate iCal API keys. I’ll probably be investigating this and I wouldn’t be too worried about adding this to our own site but it horrifies me to think that if I come up with anything useful I might issue a PR to the main branch. I’m sure if it gets to that point plenty of knowledgeable people will have reviewed it.

Has anyone seen an existing solution to integrating iCal API from discourse events with google calendar directly?
I’ve also seen posts about google calendar onebox but some people say it doesn’t work for them and in addition, that means login with google is required to use the calendar.

I don’t want to make this thread all about calendars but I wanted to clarify as much as I know in case anyone comes across this topic.
