Shibyt

Shibby free Tidbyt for lofi MacOS backgrounds

What

Scripts to generate a regularly-updating lofi MacOS background using Tidbyt APIs to reproduce the experience and aesthetic of odd, constrained APIs and hardware.

Mac-only, but it is probably easy to update the script to work for Linux and Windows

Why

Constraints and lack of utility and quality can be freeing.

set up

Install the px library
cd $PATH_TO_THIS_REPO && cp config.sample.sh config.sh and edit keys
update the absolute paths in script.sh
sudo crontab -e $(whoami) and paste and edit */1 * * * * $ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_SCRIPT.SH_GOES_HERE

try it out

./script.sh && open ./one.webp, but use the crontab stuff in the "config" section above to auto-update

lint

pixlet lint main.star --fix
