To play music on my pc, I use two different applications: cmus, for my local music ncspot, to connect to Spotify Both are minimalistic applications that work right out of your terminal. It would be cool, I thought, to show their status on my Sway status bar. So, I spent some time figuring out how to best do so. If you read this post, you can do so too! It's actually fairly simple: I have a status.sh script which is called by swaybar to update the text every second (see Pomodoro timer in Sway)...
