+# i3 Workspaces Section for EWW
+
+This project is an i3 state reader built for [EWW](https://github.com/elkowar/eww).
+I switched my main bar from [Polybar](https://github.com/polybar/polybar) to EWW,
+and this project bridges basic IPC from EWW to i3 (something Polybar did natively).
+
+It emits the i3 workspace state as a single element in EWW's unnecessary and
+poorly-documented in-house [Yuck](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html)
+format.
+
+The workspace numbers emitted will have the `ws-btn` class, `focused` and
+`urgent` classes where appropriate, and an `onclick` handler that switches to the
+workspace it represents.
