I was tired of other people's code crashing, breaking my setup, and then having to write and send patches to fix it. So I wrote my own.

This is a simple status bar that a surprising number of projects still manage to implement incorrectly.

Dependencies

• libuv
• libudev
• libasound2

Features

• Everything is asynchronous.
• Battery status is polled over netlink, so you don't have to wait 30 seconds to see an update. (yes, that was how it worked before)
• Volume level and mute state are monitored, again with no 30-second "please wait" delay.
• Display remaining time (hh:mm) when discharging
• No growing memory leak in the event loop! There is a constant leak, but that's just how any program that runs forever works.

The rest of the project is mostly the same as the original dwmstatus.

NOTE: *BSD support has been dropped. Some parts of the project is still portable, but the battery and audio parts are Linux-only.
