Dude: "Are you here for our family friendly 4/20 event?"
Me: "No, I'm here for Grandma Wei's food truck."

Intermittently I've been taking BerryWM for a spin and it has some quirks but I like it. I'm not entirely sure it's going to replace dwm on this craptop but it may.
I think the bigger eye opener for me is using sxhkd to define a bunch of hotkeys to do stupid things I had plumbed during peak pandemic to save a ton of time. I undid a bunch of that workflow because every time I switched computers it was a little jarring to lose the powerup, but now I'm tempted to rebuild the plumbing.
Still working on the design. The limited color palette is a challenge, but it's coming together.
Made the date tap-to-show, it now pops up in a cyan circle in the same style as the others. It wasn't hard to implement but took more than one attempt to fix the memory leak on unload. The event handler is outside the normal draw loop. It made me think about using tap to just keep a counter to cycle through different visualizations or data (and now that I'm thinking about it, I should long-tap to toggle debug on and off).
I'm using a tiny library for the sun and moon calculations, and there's a better (but bigger) library that I could use for all of the planets but the little Arduino that runs this thing ran out of memory on my first attempt. It also just occurred to me that maybe I could snip out the little library and there would be just enough space for the big one, and then I get Venus, Mars, and Jupiter for free.
I've also been thinking of ways to draw the phase of the moon. I think if I draw two half-circles, one light, one dark, and overlay an ellipse of the right shape and shade, it'll look correct. I haven't played with that yet in code, but it feels right.
@knapjack @#GeekAllWeek@bonk.cozysumo.space @#RollYourOwn@bonk.cozysumo.space @#BangleJS@bonk.cozysumo.space thatβs very cool. I like this interface.
Playing with different designs and layouts now that my math works out. At one time I ditched the daypart wedges and all the text. Now both are back.
The celestial bodies are now labeled inside, white on black when below the horizon, black on unique colors (yellow for sun, white for moon, red for Mars, etc.) when above the horizon.
I might do something different with the date, like making it tap-to-show, but I like dropping the time next to the current sun position. I also thought about making all of the labels tap-to-show.

@MBridegam @coolgrey @gillyarcht I haven't seen one yet, but it would be easy to do. I'd be surprised if there isn't one hiding out there already. With what I've done so far, depending on how I spun it up I could probably have one done in 15-30 minutes. #GeekAllWeek
