How to lock screen to greetd
I wrote gtklock for the exact purpose. Keep in mind it has some downsides compared to swaylock (doesn't use the new screen lock protocol) but looks nice and consistent with gtkgreet, has more features and is extensible with modules.

You can still adjust gtklock to your liking, by defining your own config and css. See https://github.com/jovanlanik/gtklock/wiki

gtklock and nwg-wrapper - let's rice the lock!
I had a play with gtklock today and wondered if it would work with nwg-wrapper to enhance the lock screen. It turns out that they work together very well - see screenshot. I've also modified my script for various styles of locking so that it supports gtklock: mylock

gktlock: GTK-based lockscreen for Wayland
I wrote gtklock to compliment gtkgreet. It uses the wlr-layer-shell and wlr-input-inhibitor Wayland protocols, works on sway and other wlroots compositors.

Here's how to do it - in this example, I'm using my sway-menu python script to generate the menu itself. I'm also moving the menu to be near the cursor:

Remotely starting graphical app inside Sway session, when the app needs to run as root, without relying on authentication from within the session
Maybe try my script sway-runner

Using nwg-wrapper for a HUD of help for sway modes
As a geriatric user of sway, I don't always remember the keystrokes in the more esoteric corners of my configuration. I find that my script sway-menu helps with the bulk of the uncommon key bindings. But when I drop into a 'mode' (eg "move" mode) I don't always remember all the clever things I programed into it.

Is it possible to have my Bluetooth controller disconnect automatically on idle?
I wrote a simple bash script bluetooth-timeout to power-off the linux bluetooth stack after 10m of activity. Maybe this would help you.

What do I need to install on the Sway spin?
Another source for ideas is to read through the configs and scripts written by others. I offer my own here - there are many others around.

Digital overlay clock?
Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.

Sway productivity tips
Imma gonna browse through your stuff to see if there's a scratch to a hitherto unnoticed itch that I can snarf. You might like to do the same with my dotfiles - particularly bin/sway-\, *.config/sway** and .config/waybar.

Anyone know how to move container to the next *empty* workspace?
You might be able to modify my sway-next-empty-workspace script for that. Maybe see if changing swaymsg to i3-msg does the job.
