GitHub - Ferdi265/wl-mirror: a simple Wayland output mirror client
There's a similar project from a year ago (wdomirror), but I only noticed it after I already finished my first implementation. wdomirror is less code and does not use EGL, which makes it slightly more lightweight, but it does not support setting a scaling mode (linear vs nearest vs exact), does not preserve aspect ratio, and does not set a buffer scale, which makes it look blurry on outputs with scale greater than 1.

Actually functional compositors, and querying their protocol capabilities : mirroring screens
Maybe try https://github.com/Ferdi265/wl-mirror, since it says it should work on all wlroots compositors.

How to use projector on sway?
A key thing to remember with Wayland and external monitors or projectors: it will appear as a separate desktop, just like if you had two monitors and mirroring is not built in (and it does not appear it ever will be). If you want to mirror your screen, you'll have to use something like wl-mirror, which is actually really simple and slick.
