+# Noctalia Niri Ribbon Widget
+
+An independent widget for [Noctalia](https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia) that tracks off-screen windows in the [niri](https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri) window manager's horizontal ribbon.
+
+Developed by **J Pablo Puerta** <ews@folksonomy.com>.
+
+## Features
+- Real-time tracking of hidden windows to the left and right.
+- Native Quickshell implementation via Noctalia's plugin system.
+- Muted/Active color states based on window counts.
+- Robust state handling via niri's `event-stream`.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone this repository into your Noctalia plugins directory (or symlink it):
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p ~/.config/noctalia/plugins
+   ln -s ~/projects/noctalia-niri-ribbon ~/.config/noctalia/plugins/niri-ribbon
+   ```
+
+2. Enable the plugin in `~/.config/noctalia/plugins.json`:
+   ```json
+   "niri-ribbon": {
+       "enabled": true
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Add the widget to your bar in `~/.config/noctalia/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   "widgets": {
+       "center": [
+           { "id": "niri-ribbon" }
+       ]
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Requirements
+- `niri` window manager
+- `python3`
+- `noctalia` / `quickshell`
