3 years ago not sure if its the right way, but i modified the sxmo rotate script a bit so its usable with sway. with systemd you can start a user service

The rot8 configuration in the sway config file does not work, likely because x-file and y-file are not valid arguments apparently.
This is because the git clone command doesn't clone the forked version with the added args. This should be specified in the readme.
