Email notifications

It'd be super awesome if I could get email notifications for calendar events. This is probably the top way I interact with my calendar.

This is actually a feautre I would love to have myself.
Unfortunately, Sandstorm suspends the grain when it is not in use (i.e not open in a browser, and no API interaction).

What would make this possible is some sort of a cron facility, where apps could register to be woken up on a rough schedule. Then we could handle sending the emails from the backend.
This is tracked as sandstorm-io/sandstorm#1150 in sandstorm platform.

Right. I knew that. :/ I am going to explicitly tag @paulproteus so he is aware of this use case for such a feature.

As a note, a cron API lives in an unmerged PR, so with any luck (and some hope), someday soon this will be possible. sandstorm-io/sandstorm#2922
