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?
