I use it to list all my PRs, with icons for their approval/CI status alongside a list of PRs that are awaiting my review.

I like that the API is just outputting lines, but I wish there was more documentation.

I do the same thing, plus a few shortcuts I use a lot (open specific directories, clean directory etc).

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".

Not sure what you mean with the first question.

All information is displayed in the drop down menu. I’ve thought about adding a number of actionable items as an indicator but.. haven’t needed it imo

> drop down menu

I see. I do not use it like that, hence i was confused. I just need it to see a particular text, like some status.

Any chance you could share the script and a screenshot?
