An application that listens to the Hyprland UNIX socket for changes and returns chosen properties (example: workspace information, active window name).

# Prerequisites

You should be running Hyprland.

# Why

Writing this helped me cut down RAM usage for getting workspace information by almost 600%! (12MB -> 2.4MB) and of course barely any CPU usage. 
This CLI tool will also come with some extra features, such as dynamically updating the gaps

# Roadmap

- [x] Workspace information.
- [x] Active window name.
- [x] Resize gaps (increase, decrease and reset).
- [ ] Manage monitor configuration.
