More robust support for plugins/sections/blocks

[strafe]

The new shell config options are amazing, being able to add custom output means I can finally stop using Uebersicht so thank you!

I'd love to see the ability to stack multiple commands from the left and right sides rather than just a single command for each, this has tons of benefits. Each plugin/block would provide an icon, command and update interval (on click actions would be incredible too if that's even possible).

Hey @strafe 👋🏻 Glad you're liking the new features!

Yes, I'd been planning to implement what you've described here :)

I'll see what I can put together soon

We should also open an issue for people to share their custom shell scripts! It is difficult for some people with less shell scripting experience (me included) to create their own custom plugin.

Yeah! I've been thinking I'll enable GitHub Discussions so we have a forum :)
I'll set it up once I'm done wrapping up the feature I'm working on

@itsdawei I created a discussion here :) https://github.com/cmacrae/spacebar/discussions/70

Great job on this!

Possibly out of the scope of this issue, but is it possible in theory with whatever UI library is used to add separators between elements? It's easier in Ubersicht because you can just style them how you want but just outputting them with the shell command will probably leave some pretty unsightly gaps at the top and bottom.

Thanks @strafe !
Yeah, sure 👍 Separators should be easy enough :)
Forgive the silly question, but where are the separators in the image you've shared? Is it just the blank space that you're referring to?

No problem, circled them and zoomed in.

Ah! I should've clicked to open the image 😅 No problem, I can definitely implement that 👍
