Wayle: A compositor agnostic shell with extensive customization

The author of hyprPanel a shell for wayland, has taken all lessons learned and started a new project from scratch: Wayle.
While hyprPanel was a cool project, it was limited in a few ways due to astral, the icon system, etc, and it was specific to hyprland.

His new project Wayle is built on rust and Relm (gtk) widgets. It is compositor agnostic, and while i'm happy with just the hyprland module, i guess other modules can/will be written.
It's marked as a work in progress, but I've found it to be more solid than both hyprpanel and even waybar. Seriously i'm so excited about this project because it feels so much more mature than projects that are many years old, it comes with many modules and they look quite beautiful.
I love that it's more of a shell than just a bar, but it's still quite lightweight

Here's my personal bar (a work in progress)
