CalDAV Event Reminders
Problem Monica doesn't support modifying CalDAV resources and doesn't add calendar notifications (VALARM) itself.
Solution The option to put (maybe configurable) notifications as calendar VALARMS additionally or instead of sending emails.
Alternatives Putting birthdays into a seperate calendar, but that defeats the point of having monica. Also, this applies to other notifications than birthdays as well.
Additional context An example event, as generated manually on my phone (Google Calendar, synced via radicale), emphasis on the VALARM section that google calendar generates (set to same day, 7am in the morning)

Hi I don't know if its related? But I am unable to sync my caldav to my Android through DAVx. Carddav is working fine. Its giving me error NotFoundExcption: HTTP 404
Further where can one see the calendar in Monica for the events?
I've created a hardcoded reminder if anyone is looking for a stopgap. It'll popup a reminder for 9am of the birthday event.
