I've been discovering more and more high quality open source apps for Mac recently. My other favorites so far: https://github.com/iterate-ch/cyberduck https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle https://github.com/sfsam/Itsycal https://github.com/newmarcel/KeepingYouAwake

I would like to add stats[0] to the list, which is a great open source replacement for iStat Menus

It would be awesome to find something similar to windows...I can imagine "boosting up" my taskbar with this kind of stuff. If anyone knows a similar app to Windows please let us know

In the future, xbar might be able to support Windows :)

Agree, I have it monitoring my AWS consumption cost and ETH prices. Pretty handy.

Would you mind sharing a code example of how you do this? It sounds very helpful

I'd suggest checking out jq for parsing JSON files:

    $ curl -s https://api.coinbase.com/v2/prices/ETH-USD/spot | jq -r .data.amount
