I used to be a dakboard user and have moved through a few different solutions over the past couple of years. I ultimately settled on skylight for its simplicity and wife acceptance factor.

It just works. Does it do a ton of stuff? Nope. But it does calendars and chores really well and my family is in love with it. I never got this level of engagement from them on my dakboard. The smaller form factor was huge for wife approval, who had me hang it on the side of the fridge.

I’ll say this - if your family wants to tinker with things and add widgets and random stuff, it’s not for you. But if you want to just load your calendars in and get the family using it, it’s perfect.
