 # gobar
 A shitty program to update dwlb and other dwm/dwl status bars by writing to a file or stdout.  While not as extensible as something like someblocks, this program aims to be easy to run as a userspace daemon.  It's extremely lightweight and extensible. 
+
+## Usage
+You could create a systemd unit file for this, but I'm already doing something janky for my dwl startup script, so why not tack on more jank? 
+
+```bash
+# Start our applications
+swaybg --output '*' --mode fill  --image /home/jonathan/Downloads/wallpaper.jpg &
+mako &
+foot --server &
+swayidle -w timeout 300 'swaylock -f -c 000000' before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000' &
+gobar | dwlb -status-stdin all & 
+dwlb -font "JetBrainsMonoNerdFont:size=10"
+```
