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.

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.

Password manager solution in Wayland?
I use myclipman to wrap clipman with wayland/swaywm to prevent passwords being cached.

Counting down before gtklock or suspend
The countdown into gtklock is created by my script sway-count which uses nwg-wrapper.

Unable to set icons in i3status-rust - unknown field 'icons'
I assume you have installed latest stable version which is 0.22. The relavant config is https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/v0.22.0/examples/config.toml
I've copied awesome.toml from https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/master/files/icons/awesome.toml.

Upload and download speed for status bar
What's the version of i3-status you are using. As per their README, https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust , there are two versions 0.22 and 0.3. Make sure you are using compatible versions according to your config.

I wrote an x11 tiling window manager inspired by DWM that I've been using for a few months now. If you're using x11 and want to try out a new tiling window manager I'd love your feedback!
Yeah, much better than the default i3status, it is well documented, you can check its screenshots and documents for more into. https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/master/doc/themes.md
- Whats your favourite i3 hacks you can't live without?

trying to transition into tiling window managers (from Pop!_OS)
I would go with i3-gaps with i3status-rust instead of polybar since is easier to setup imo.
