A simple manager for network connections using [rofi](https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi) and [nmcli](https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/man/nmcli.1). Strongly inspired/based on [rofi-wifi-menu](https://github.com/zbaylin/rofi-wifi-menu). Most of the code (I would say all code) was copied from the original creator. I've only refactored the code to improve performance and easily add new features. The project is written primarily in Shell, distributed under the MIT License license, first published in 2018. Key topics include: i3, i3wm, nmcli, polybar, rofi.
