+# Blinkenlicht
+
+Yet another "bar" program for wlroots-basd Wayland compositors, but
+this one is written in [Fennel](https://fennel-lang.org/) and
+therefore better than all the others because it is more niche.
+
+More seriously: you might prefer this over another status bar program
+if you want fine-grained control over what is shown in your bar and
+you are happy to exert that control in a Lua-based Lisp language.
+
+```fennel
+(bar
+ {
+ :anchor [:top :right]
+ :orientation :horizontal
+ :indicators
+ [
+ (indicator {
+ :interval 200
+ :icon #(if (> loadavg 2) "sad-face" "happy-face")
+ })
+ (let [f (io.open "/tmp/statuspipe" "r")]
+ (indicator {
+ :poll [f]
+ :text #(f:read:sub 1 10)
+ }))
+ (indicator {
+ :interval 5000
+ :text #(.. (disk-free-percent "/") "%")
+ :on-click #(spawn "baobab")
+ })
+ (indicator {
+ :interval 1000
+ :text #(os.date "%X")
+ })
+ ]})
+```
