I wrote a status bar generator to learn async Rust, and Rust continues to amaze me
You can see the source code here. It's a tool for generating status bar output for text-based status bars like dzen2, xmobar, or lemonbar. Feedback welcome!

Can I get a taskbar with BPSWM or i3?
It's optional though and you can easily replace it with something else. A lot of i3/bspwm users use something like polybar, lemonbar or yabar instead. When I was on bspwm I used tint2. These are all highly customizable, and tiling wm users tend to be the sort who want to customize them, which can be time consuming. But you can use almost anything, even something like the xfce4 panel if you want.

Which DE do you prefer?
I now run bspwm, along with sxhkd, picom, and lemonbar, as separate userland runit services; my .xinitrc now reads exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 runsvdir -P "${HOME}/.local/service/"
