As I understand there is a May update coming with a few fixes. Perhaps there will be a fix for folks wanting to use blocks in a variant other than 1280.
As well there has to be far more blocks for navigation.

I’m finding that the gallery modules have the best assortment designs one could use.

As an exercise, I’m doing a simple project with blocks from a site that I already have.

I still don’t understand how calendy can give me a calendar as good as the google calendar. This widget appears to work well for appointments, but full month viewing in a standard calendar view google seems to be the answer but I’m willing to play with the others.
