Elkowars Wacky Widgets is a standalone widget system made in Rust that allows you to implement
your own, custom widgets in any window manager.

Documentation **and instructions on how to install** can be found [here](https://elkowar.github.io/eww).

Dharmx also wrote a nice, beginner friendly introductory guide for eww [here](https://dharmx.is-a.dev/eww-powermenu/).

## Check out another cool project by me

I'm currently busy working [yolk](https://elkowar.github.io/yolk),
which is a dotfile management solution that supports a unique spin on templating: *templating without template files*.

To find out more, check out the [website and documentation](https://elkowar.github.io/yolk)!
