SwayLid

A rust program that tells sway over ipc to enable or disable my laptop screen as needed.

Usage

Future

The monitor status code is overly complex because I am looking at also managing monitor layouts between workplaces. I'll probably extract that to another crate.

I'll also look at making a threaded and more tightly integrated systemd daemon that controls it's own lifecycle and sets appropriate statuses with the systemd notification bus.
