Running melonbar immediately crashes

OS: arch
i3 for wm.
go version: 1.11.4

installed using go get github.com/onodera-punpun/melonbar
running /home/<user>/go/bin/melonbar very briefly creates the bar window (for only a few milliseconds), exits right after with the following message: 2019/01/13 23:36:26 no such file or directory (timestamp is just the current date)

Many things are still hard-coded (because I want the user to edit the code to fit his or her needs). This is probably caused by https://github.com/onodera-punpun/melonbar/blob/master/blocks.go#L181

This line looks for a "todo" file, for me this file is $HOME/.todo. Either create this file or alter line.

I know this is not the perfect solutuon, maybe I'll create a config.go file where such valuas are set.

Yup, that solved it! Maybe try checking whether or not the file exists first and provide a more verbose error message for now (or put it in the readme)? Nice work on the bar so far.
