bindsym not working with flameshot
I combine grimshot + swappy to get something similar to Flameshot. Not as good, but it has the advantage of... actually working on Sway.

How I chose the right screenshot tool for my Linux
I personally use grim + slurp + swappy, and i love it! :)

redshift like gui application
If you want to edit the screenshot, pipe it through swappy

swaywm color picker
For those sort of simple jobs, you might find that swappy is enough (and much faster to start and simpler to use).

How to disable some itens in Waybar?
If I understand https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration correctly, what is to be displayed is defined in a JSON file that can be located in one of the directories mentioned.

Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

Hyprland with Waybar Config Reloading
See this issue. CSS and only new properties in config are reloaded when SIGUSR2 is triggered.
-
Persistent workspaces?
I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.
