luastatus — universal status bar content generator

Dear community,

I’ve made luasatus, a universal status bar content generator. It allows the user to configure the way the data from event sources is processed and shown, with Lua.

Its main feature is that the content can be updated immediately as some event occurs, be it a change of keyboard layout, active window title, volume or a song in your favorite music player (provided that there is a plugin for it) — a thing rather uncommon for tiling window managers.

It also avoids heavy forking, which is also a common issue of status bar content generators, affecting performance and power consumption.

It currently supports i3bar, lemonbar, dwm and wmii/wmii2/wmii3 as status bars; via the “generic” stdout barlib, it also can be used as a content provider for dzen/dzen2, xmobar, dvtm and yabar status bars.

Hopefully it will be useful for somebody smile
