## What it is
A community-maintained collection of shell and Python scripts that extend Polybar, a status bar for Linux window managers. Each script acts as a Polybar module showing things like weather, media playback, battery status, VPN state, and package updates.

## Use cases
- show weather on my polybar status bar
- display currently playing media via mpris in polybar
- show pacman/aur package updates in my status bar
- monitor vpn connection status in polybar
- show unread imap email count in the status bar
- display cpu temperature per core in polybar
- show bluetooth and usb device status in my bar

## When to avoid
- you use a status bar other than Polybar
- you need polished, guaranteed-working modules rather than scripts that may need customization
- you want a GUI application

## Facets
