- Always been into customising look/feel, never satisfied
- Found Luke Smith and liked i3, made own version.
- Pandemic hits! Started learning Python, JavaScript but had no real use for them...
- Made a website (inspired by disconnecting from social media)

- dunst
- sxiv/feh
- zathura
- my status stuff using dwmstat script
- a look in
~/.local/bin - I recently learned about awk and rewrote all icon scripts which is what inspired me to record this episode.
- What next?
- Is it necessary to patch dwm? Probably not.
I've come to believe that the real value in these experiments has come from my custom status scripts and keyboard shortcuts - not from patching new features into dwm. It does what I need it to (manage windows!)
- Is it necessary to patch dwm? Probably not.
- Thanks for watching!
