Hi everyone,
I’d like to share a project Ive been working on, Aurora Calendar, a family-focused calendar integration I’ve been building for Home Assistant.
Aurora Calendar combines a Home Assistant integration and a Lovelace card into a single HACS install. No separate resource setup and no complex YAML required unless you want to use it 
Repository:

Why this exists
I’ve always liked the idea of having a nice shared calendar dashboard in Home Assistant — something visual enough that would be easy for the whole family to understand.
Before building this, I had tried to recreate something similar with YAML, helpers, automations, and custom cards. It worked, but it became hard to maintain and almost impossible to share with others. Every time someone asked, “Can you send me that setup?”, the answer was basically a huge wall of configuration.
So I decided to turn it into a proper custom integration and card instead. With this I am attempting to make this a simple flow:
Install once, configure once, and give the household a calendar everyone can understand.
It’s currently at v0.1.0 — solid enough to share, but still early enough that I’d really value community feedback 
What it does
Aurora Calendar is a unified calendar dashboard that pulls from your existing Home Assistant calendar entities, such as Google Calendar, Local Calendar, and others, and presents them in a family-friendly calendar view.
It is inspired by the kind of visual “family wall calendar” experience that works well in a shared household: per-person colors, multiple views, weather information, and a layout that is easy to read at a glance.

Feedback and contributions
This is the part I’d really appreciate help with.
Bugs, ideas, design feedback, translation fixes, and real-world testing are all welcome and would be extremely helpful at this stage.
Thanks for taking a look. I hope this helps other families make their Home Assistant dashboards a little more useful and a little more wife-and-kid approved.
