Does exactly what I wanted and needed it to do

If you're looking at this, then you probably know what you want to do with this. It is a niche consumer product, with the added beauty of having a million potential uses. For me, I'm using it to simply display the information I want - keyword, 'simply'. Simple is rarely that - and this product delivers on that promise incredibly so.

Pretty great! Needs reboot instructions & longer plugin timeouts for URLs

Loved the configurability, plugin ecosystem, and the touch integration. After a soft reboot, I was up and running. I had an issue during setup where it did not wake. After a couple hours of looking I found the right support article to soft reboot it by moving the charging puck in a circle. I wish this wasn’t necessary, but I also wish this had come as instructions in the box or on the setup guide it linked to. My feature request is to please allow for longer HTTP timeouts for custom URLs or image URLs. I tried the built-in URL screenshoter plugin, but it did not wait long enough for the page to finish redirects and background fetches. I then set up my own website screenshot service to manage the screenshot myself and connect via the image URLs plugin. This works, but only on the 2nd refresh with cached results due to timeouts again (2nd plugin).

Excellent for wall calendar. Additional magnets required for hanging.

I've always wanted a calendar that synced to my google calendar and this is almost perfect (an even bigger version will be perfect). Hanging on a wall is a bit tricky. We need to buy extra magnets and glue them to the backplate for it to hang securely.
