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.

I like polybar but if you want something simpler, try lemonbar

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/"

Ly display manager issues!
After building & installing ly demonstrate manager (https://github.com/nullgemm/ly) i can'tseem to start it as there is no entry in /etc/sv to start. I then came across this: https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. A build of ly that supports runit & sure enough it has a service to start however when i restart my pc and ly display manager starts, even with the right credentials it does not log in, only turning off my monitor for a moment then booting back into the display manager screen. This is the case for starting my window manager, starting my .xinitrc however it can successfully start the shell. Any help would be greatly appreciated to either start the official build, or to correct the modified one.

Bloated base install?
I definitely know what you mean; I used to use ly (and haven't been able to figure out how to write a package/service for it, yet) and would love to use that, again.

Display Managers and TTY
Yes, actually! Ly is a console-based display manager that allows you to select your login target between any of the standard sessions (KDEs, GNOMEs, and what have you), explicit launching of .xinitrc, or just dropping straight into terminal.

Which DE do you prefer?
What DM are you using? I tried to compile both ly-void and normal ly according to this guide.
