Windows equivalent?
You could do something similar with AutoHotkey, I think. Of course you don’t have the option to have wide texts an graphs, but at least something of the size of an icon.

#44Great tool. Call me a troglodyte, but I love the fact that it's written in ObjC, not Swift.

#45All I want in my menu bar is a UTC clock next to my local clock. Do we have a tool for that?
I just wrote this tiny script today after installing BitBar
#!/bin/bash
TZ=Europe/Berlin date +%H:%M

#46In X, you san use xsetroot. I have a few scripts to grab weather and time, and put these in my DWM status bar, refreshing every minute. Obviously this has a bit more eye candy but if you use Linux, you can approximate this pretty easily.

#47I believe there is a similar feature in a GNOME extension, called Argos, as well.
Thank you! You won't believe that I've been looking for just this tool for the last several months (I've been searching along the lines of "i3 status bar for gnome-shell" but was unsuccessful).
Using argos with zenity let you provide inputs from prompted dialog in gnome make it feels like professional taskbar item :) you may find it tricky to execute a function inside your argos script and i found a simple way to make it works is to call the script itself and provide arguments to it. I wrote it here in my blog if you want a quick example to get started .

#48How did you guys find out about bitbar before now? Product hunt? Reddit?

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
Shortcuts to see or to run on clicking on it (which seems too much effort) ? And how do you guys have so much space at the top? I only print my local IP address and its color ( red/blue) depending on whether my mitmproxy is running or not and I don't have whole lot of space left on my MBP 15".
