AnyBar: OS X menubar status indicator

I'll be that guy on this thread that points out Hammerspoon. It's an OS X automation tool that replaces pretty much every OS X 'tweak' style application out there. http://www.hammerspoon.org/go/#simplemenubar

I think it's the best of these type of projects, and would love to see more people using it / developing and sharing scripts.

Bitbar feels much better imo and allowing not just dots - any stuff https://github.com/matryer/bitbar

I can't access the plugins on their main page. When I click nothing happens.

Looks like the plugins-page is actually the main page. You can choose some category from the list on the left.

+1 for Bitbar. Great tool, capable of displaying any console output in your menubar, so really easy to script in any language.

Care to share your implementation of your favorite feature? I'm finding it hard to picture what the workflow/result will be like.
