I'm ricing my Arch Linux install, again.
Previously, I made a custom status bar implementation using eww widgets, to replace functionality I thought was lacking in the current offerings like waybar, polybar, and the likes. I wanted weather integration, Spotify widget with controls and album artwork display and such, apart from all the regular functionality. So my bar and it's subwidgets were essentially just a huge system of eww widgets.
I've also been using i3 for the last decade at least. But now, I've finally decided to try Hyprland after visiting their website and falling in love with the smooth animations.
So I'm up and running now with an i3-like control scheme using the hy3 plugin. Now I'm exploring AGS as a widget system, which seems much more promising than eww in terms of setup and clear way of doing things and the library is solid and generic enough for my needs/requirements. AGS is also JavaScript so very familiar as I'm a web developer. It also seems much more efficient in terms of resources and CPU cycles.
It's looking great so far and I'm thinking about using waybar as my bar, but we'll see how far that gets me. I might just make a huge widget system again with AGS. It was pretty fun last time, a few years ago.
