Your follower count on X.

Tile: X Profile - in the widget picker under Social.

Before you start

  • An X account.

Steps

  1. In lumabar, right-click the dock, choose Widgets…, open Social and click X Profile to add it.
  2. Click the new tile on the dock. Its card opens.
  3. Press Sign in with X and approve access in the browser tab that opens.

Good to know

  • A browser tab opens on X - approve access there and come back. lumabar asks only to read: your profile and its counts.
  • During the sign-in lumabar listens on 127.0.0.1:53127 for X's answer, and stops right after.

If it doesn't connect

The card says what went wrong, in words like these:

“could not open local port 53127”

Another program is using that port. Close it, or try again in a minute.

Privacy

The sign-in is stored only on this PC and is used only to read from X. To remove it, right-click the tile and choose Logout.
