**Jerod Santo:** Yeah, you're already nailing it. Two for two. Can xbar show me my current weight?
**Mat Ryer:** Uuh... Well, it's a very polite application, so I don't know about that... Can it? I don't know. No, I don't think so. I'll say no.
**Jerod Santo:** I don't think so. Now, the question is, how would we get that done?
**Adam Stacoviak:** I think it's possible...
**Mat Ryer:** Where would you get the weight from?
**Jerod Santo:** Some sort of smart scale?
**Adam Stacoviak:** I think you would have to interact with a smart scale, for sure.
**Mat Ryer:** And some kind of API maybe to access it?
**Jerod Santo:** So that means -- the next one is "Can it show me YOUR current weight?" I guess that's also false. Okay, the next one... Can it check my Gmail for me?
**Mat Ryer:** Yes. There's lots of email -- in fact, email has its own category. You can see all the plugins at xbarapp.com, and I made a kind of menu bar that contains the category of all the plugins. It just mirrors the repo, so it's very low-fi... But yeah, there are lots of email things in there, too. So yes. I thi...
**Jerod Santo:** \[47:53\] Can xbar buy and sell Bitcoin each time Elon Musk tweets?
**Mat Ryer:** \[laughs\] You could make it do that, if it doesn't already. There are also loads of crypto -- in fact, that might be the biggest area, crypto...
**Jerod Santo:** Probably. Crypto people have to know their numbers in real time.
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, because you never know when one tweet is gonna destroy your future.
**Jerod Santo:** Do you know what's ironic to me about crypto holders? They all talk about how they're long-time holders, but they have to know the price every five minutes. It's like, "Well, if you're holding for the long-term, why does that matter?"
**Adam Stacoviak:** It's all about marketing at that point, really...
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah... Can xbar rickroll me in 4k?
**Mat Ryer:** \[laughs\] I don't know.
**Jerod Santo:** I guess the answer would depend. Can it play a YouTube video? You said there was image support...
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, it supports images, not videos.
**Jerod Santo:** Okay. So feature request, okay... Can xbar generate passwords?
**Mat Ryer:** I haven't seen that.
**Jerod Santo:** Oh, your first miss. It actually can generate passwords.
**Mat Ryer:** Can it?
**Jerod Santo:** There's a password generator plugin, at xbarapp.com.
**Mat Ryer:** \[unintelligible 00:48:58.26\]
**Jerod Santo:** I thought that was a cool one. You know, if you have to grab a new password lots of times...
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. But how does that work?
**Jerod Santo:** I don't know.
**Mat Ryer:** I hope it's random.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Which category is that one under? System?
**Jerod Santo:** Utility maybe? Or tools?
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, there's a password generator right at the top.
**Jerod Santo:** There it is.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Come on, Mat...
**Jerod Santo:** Come on, Mat... Can it show me how many people are currently on Changelog.com?
**Mat Ryer:** You mean the Google Analytics, or some of the analytics?
**Jerod Santo:** Well, we use Plausible, but does it support Google Analytics?
**Mat Ryer:** Yes, it does support Google Analytics.
**Jerod Santo:** Nice. I believe Plausible has an API now, so we can probably wire that one together.
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah.
**Adam Stacoviak:** What was the question again?
**Jerod Santo:** Can it show how many people are currently on Changelog.com? What if that was right in your menu bar?
**Mat Ryer:** There you go. That's nice.
**Jerod Santo:** Talk about obsessing over numbers...
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, that would be cool.
**Jerod Santo:** Can xbar tell me random dad jokes?
**Mat Ryer:** \[laughs\] I don't think so.
**Jerod Santo:** You're absolutely incorrect. It can.
**Mat Ryer:** Oh, it has a dad joke one? That's amazing.
