The current lastpass rofi mode is a bash script that fetches all accounts every time rofi is called. Makes rofi laggy. Would be cool to re-implement this in dot, have it sync lastpass in the background, and list the accounts via rofi from a cache so that rofi stays nice and snappy.

config files for linux apps should go in standard location ~/.config/{app_name}. Right now current_settings.toml is in the projects directory and checked into source control which will cause issues for users. There should be an example settings file in the project, and the project should look to ~/.config/dot/ for config.toml.

I would commands for:

• intializing ~/.config/dot/config from ~/project_dir/config.example

Before releasing this project to the public I would like an automated build that builds and publishes a AUR package to Arch so that it's easy for people to install.

• document each feature
• add an icon
• add gifs and image demonstratng functionaility
• document the config file
• document functions, commands, and flags
• mention rofigo

When reloading i3wm via mod+shift+r, dot polybar loads a different theme. Currently I only have two themes, nord and nord-arrow, and it switches between the two.

json does not allow for comments
it seems to be better used for data transfers and less so as a configuration format that's human readable
toml seems to be a good alternative

After updating polybar, there are errors in my config files. Not sure what. There are no errors being output by dot. I'm having to remember how to call polybar directly, which is annoying given how I have to set environment variables just right to get the themes working. Dot should:

• output all errors that polybar outputs
• tell you what commands its running to call polybar (including environment variables set)

When i logged in this morning, polybar only started on a few monitors. I'm thinking maybe the monitors weren't detected yet? I'll have to test it more.
If that is what is happening, maybe I should look into making this a daemon that continuously checks the monitors state and updates polybar if they change.
