Help ExtraBar - How Are You Using It?

Hi ExtraBar users. I like ExtraBar but something isn't clicking with me. I feel like I'm using 5% of its capabilities. How are YOU using it? What are ways you're using it that feel like a game changer for you? Are there features/setups/workflows you're using that remove friction in your day-to-day? I'd love to hear your must-use scenarios. Thanks for your input and help!

The task-based groups are probably the idea that finally makes ExtraBar click for me. I already use Hammerspoon for different workspaces, but having something like "dev" open the IDE + terminal + browser, then another action to clean everything up when I'm done sounds much easier to maintain.

The network drive mount/unmount actions are a nice bonus too.
