I have the same issues as everybody else (larger screen, smaller bezel, flush mount to bezel, google calendar only), but I'll talk about the copy on the site:

Under "Set and forget", "User your [...]" should be "Use your [...]". If you're anywhere near this price point, you can't have any typos in your copy.

"For the home":

> Unlike a paper-based family planner, the Invisible Calendar is up-to-date with what's in everyone's phones. Even the kids can catch a glance at the weekend - and know when to schedule that sleepover.

To me it feels like the age when kids start to really manage their own schedules is also around the age when parents give them (or let them pay for) their own phones. If everybody has a phone, what need does a shared device on a wall fulfill?

The "and for the office" block for some reason made me think that it would be neat to have it show a single day while in portrait and show the week while in landscape. Then in portrait/day mode, it takes the place of the narrow sliver I give to Calendar.app on one of my screens / lets me reclaim that screen space, and I can still see the week at a glance by just turning it on its mount/pedestal/whatever.

This would work a lot better if it were battery powered though, you might not want the cable moving around while you're turning it.

Many of the ideas you mentioned are also floating in my head. I have to prioritize, but maybe one day...

And thanks for pointing out the typo :)
