YAQS – Yet Another Quickshell Setup

YAQS is my personal configuration for Quickshell, a flexible Wayland shell replacement. I try to focuses on simplicity, modularity, and a clean user experience — without pretending to be the “final word” in shell configs (because it isn’t).

An Additonally Goal of mine is to make it Mobile Friendly so i can use it with mobile Nix. (Or Atleast make some Parts Reusable)
