I came from i3, so I pretty much copied over my i3 config mostly intact. Had to add the output configuration for non-default resolutions. Had to add environment GDK_BACKEND=wayland to applications to tell them to use wayland instead of x11 via Xwayland such as firefox (65 and newer has wayland enbaled by default), vlc, gedit, terminal and anything else that supports wayland.
Downsides to Sway is that's it has only just entered beta and doesn't really have nice packaged/maintained releases yet. Also I use X11 gnome-panel overlay on top of the swaybar panel, because I wanted a real taskbar, which is kind of a hack and also why I know about the window manipulation features.
