Seems like a fun project but couldn’t you do the same thing easily with a shared combined calendar and a tablet of your choice displaying said calendar?

- theshrike79 3y agoNo, because then you're just limited into showing a single calendar. Some stuff you want in agenda-format (next 5 events on the calendar), others you want in a monthly view, others in daily or weekly. And then you have alerts, weather etc that doesn't really fit the calendar format that well.
- endisneigh 3y agointeresting. in that case I'd use widgets on an ipad which support all of those use cases.
- codingdave 3y agoYou are over-engineering this concept. A simple shared calendar absolutely would work. If you want more features, go for it, but that doesn't mean a shared calendar is a non-functional solution.

- theshrike79 3y agoLook at the sibling comment and the example image of the dashboard they built: https://imgur.com/a/pHSIBcO https://imgur.com/a/pHSIBcO How can you do this with a "simple shared calendar"?
