In contrast to previous toys I've seen like this, EDEX-UI seems to have a bunch of good ideas. It's not something I'd use yet, but it's close. The idea of showing files in my current working directory is good. There's a bunch of other stuff that's good. And then there's a bunch of stuff that's a useless waste of screenspace.
But I could totally see myself replacing the useless stuff with things I care about:
* System status (computer thermals, connected USB devices, Bluetooth, Wifi, audio devices, etc.)
* Weather and time across places I interact with
Etc.
Key thing would be a simple extension API, where I can add the things I care about with a 5 minute learning curve.
I'd be glad to toss something like that up on one monitor.
I use a tiling window manager, but it doesn't support general tiling of the type needed to make everything an appropriate size, like this thing does.

Keep pushing. I think you're onto something.
