Founder here. You can adjust how many of the upcoming days are shown, and you can adjust the first and the last hour of the day. This really allows you to dial in the information density.

For scrolling, I am not quite sure what you mean - are you referring to a button that would allow to move the time forward on the calendar? (That doesn't exist yet)

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it's touch-screen (like e.g. Kindle) or an entirely passive unit; so for example if it's showing this week, can a user scroll on the unit to see what's coming next week? :)

It's not a touch screen, it's fully passive.

A touch screen might be cool, maybe for a future version... but it would drive up the price.

From a product perspective, I wonder if people wouldn't rather pick up their smart phone if they want to look at their calendar more deeply. I don't think the device should try to compete with the smart phone, it can only lose.

Thanks!

Everybody will have their opinion, 100% :)

FWIW: In family scenario, being able to quickly check next week (a simple scroll), can be very beneficial as we plan our kids activities etc (but I understand you don't want to overcomplicate it, and everybody has "just one more thing it needs":). I'll have a chat with my wife on whether it's something she would use as currently is; I'll be happy to share feedback either way if it's helpful :).
