3blocks is a feed generator for text based status bars. It executes your command lines and generates a status line from their output. Commands are scheduled at configured time intervals, upon signal reception or on clicks. The generated line is meant to be displayed by the i3 window manager through its i3bar component, as an alternative to i3status. This program naturally works out of the box with the sway Wayland compositor since it is a drop-in replacement for i3. i3blocks is meant to be highly flexible but intuitive. No library package is required, just output what your status bar expects, from your favorite programming language and your preferred format.
