📅 Polybar Module: Date & Calendar

The Date module displays the current date and time in your Polybar. It comes in two flavors — one minimal, and one interactive with a popup calendar.

[!TIP] This module is ideal for quick date/time checks, and the popup variant adds easy calendar access right from the bar.
