But... why? There is already slstatus, which does an excellent job. One can make
a shell script which fetches information from wttr.in (for example), add the
call to that script to cronspace, and have slstatus pick up that information. Even
dwmblocks adds unnecessary functionality - why would a status indicator need to
support mouse clicks at all? Its job is to display a minimum of information, not
lead to windows with less information.
You have to understand that for a program to be considered suckmore, it needs to
be straight to the point and bare. Extra functionality is added through
pull requestes.
