Can you recommend me a GUI settings app that would work nicely with i3?
For sound, I have bound XF86AudioRaiseVolume, XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioMute to i3-volume. I’m also using a custom script that listens for volume change events and displays notifications. (i3-volume can do that for you, I don’t remember off the bat why I’m using a custom script.) I also use another custom script that automatically changes the input source to headset mic when I plug in my headset, and back to the built-in laptop mic when I unplug the headset. I start pavucontrol via dmenu if I need finer control.

Is there a brainlet tutorial on how to add basic widgets
You can implement it with lua. Actually is quite easy and can be good step to learn. Or you can use some ready solution from the github, that includes installation manual. For example https://github.com/deficient/battery-widget

Dumb question
I followed these install directions https://github.com/deficient/battery-widget I pasted it in one part of my rc.lua and it said it expected a closing bracket, so I pasted it somewhere else and it called an exception to s. I understand the closing bracket bit but not much else.
