From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

End-rs : A notification daemon for WMs using eww for their widgets (lemm.ee)

Hello. I recently created a notification daemon which uses eww widgets for its front-end display. So if you are already using eww, give it a go.

I know this is a very niche use case, but if a single person finds it useful, I will be glad.

Well there is a simple answer to it. I didn't know about it.

The project looks quite cool though.

That's the beauty of FOSS. You can do whatever the hell you want to your system. Fuck up the kernel if you so wish.

PS, I looked into the wiki and it is really cool, especially since it uses a proper language. I will try it some day but for now... I am totally burntout setting up eww. Maybe on my next rice I will give it a go.

I was in a similar situation like yours. Eww is very time consuming. It's language is weird. Ags on the other hand has excellent support, documentation and other important features like SYS tray module. It also supports typescript along with js.
