I have an Amazon Echo Show 5 on my desk that's connected to my calendar. I've updated the homescreen settings such that it only alternates between the current time and the calendar display, which displays the next upcoming event. (It also displays the date and current weather conditions.) Having used the Echo Show, I definitely see the appeal in a device like UpNext, and I wish there was a decent hack-able small display that people could use to build these types of devices. In the past I've paired a Raspberry Pi and a touchscreen display, but that's clunky and doesn't look all that great. A while back, I really wanted a Chumby[1], and I wish something like that still existed.
