I'll be stepping down as maintainer of #yambar
I rarely have time to work on it, and more importantly, I rarely want to work on it.
Why? Many reasons really.
- I'm moving away from using a bar myself. I still use it, but it has less and less on it. I don't ever use it interactively.
- It started out as an X11 only application, and only later got ported to Wayland. I don't use X11 myself, making that part hard to maintain. The fact that it didn't support Wayland from the beginning also means it's very difficult, or impossible, to implement some of the Wayland features I've wanted to add, due to the design of yambar. I could remove X11 support, but I'd still have to redesign and rewrite large parts to be able to move forward. Not something I'm interested in doing.
- A bar with native modules, like yambar, means you have to know a lot about a lot; how to interact with various WMs, how to get wifi status from the kernel, battery status, windows etc etc. Meaning it can take a long time to fix issues if code that I either wrote a long time ago, or I didn't wrote at all (i.e. someone else contributed). Adding new features also takes time, for the same reason.
I'll update the repo some time next week.
If you want to continue working on it, by all means, fork it!
Working on yambar was a really good learning experience. Before it, I hadn't done any X11, Wayland or GUI programming at all. None of my other projects would be what they are if it weren't for yambar :)
