I’m fond of qmmp because it ticks the boxes: it fits sanely into my desktop aesthetic since you can use normal Qt theming, it supports MPRIS for integration into status boxes, and the download-lyrics plugin works (surprisingly rare, many onky surface embedded lyrics)

I’ve been using the CoW compositor lately and it has a neat, but possibly accidental, feature:

You get that “virtual desktop with additional screen space” feature, as was common on older X11 setups, with a little minimap that shows the real screens within the context of the virtual space. What’s unusual is that it’s possible to move the individual screens on a multi-monitor rig independently, rathrr than as a group.

Yeah.

Weather.gov has an API. Hit three endpoints- one to convert lat/long to their grid system, one for current conditions, one for forecast. Box the JSON into a pretty layout. <100 lines of TCL/Tk if you want to do it the lazy way and it still takes less RAM than an Electron Hello World.
