Read some description from the conky manual page. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/artful/man1/conky.1.html

NAME

       conky - A system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code, but
       more kickass. It just keeps on given'er. Yeah.

DESCRIPTION

       Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on torsmo.  Since  its
       inception,  Conky has changed significantly from its predecessor, while
       maintaining simplicity and  configurability.  Conky  can  display  just
       about  anything,  either on your root desktop or in its own window. Not
       only does Conky have many built-in objects, it can  also  display  just
       about  any  piece  of  information  by using scripts and other external
       programs.

       Conky has more than 250 built  in  objects,  including  support  for  a
       plethora  of OS stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage,
       "top" like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a  few),
       built in IMAP and POP3 support, built in support for many popular music
       players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious), and much much more.   Conky  can
       display  this  info  either  as text, or using simple progress bars and
       graph widgets, with different fonts and colours.

This has more than 250 built-in objects. I think it'd be nice to have a conky wrapper module similar to i3blocks and i3py3status... and maybe, to split off i3status wrapper too. This may be right up someone's alley.

This was a crazy idea in first place.
