+**TIL: How to Get swaync to Play Nice With Waybar**
+
+I added Sway Notification Center as my notification manager and added a small "widget" to my Waybar, so I can see how many notifications
+I have and silence notifications by clicking on it. However, I found when I opened the swaync sidebar, in my case by
+right-clicking on the icon. I found that I could not click on anything else on my Waybar like workspaces. Now I know
+I should be using my keyboard, but sometimes it's just easier to use a mouse.
+
+The fix I found was on [Reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/133cffq/swaync_weird_behavior_on_waybar/).
+I use nix and configure Waybar using home-manager, the on-click actions now have a small sleep, which I don't even 
+notice, and this resolves the above issue.
+
+```nix
+{
+"custom/notification" = {
+  tooltip = false;
+  format = "{} {icon}";
+  "format-icons" = {
+    notification = "󱅫";
+    none = "";
+    "dnd-notification" = " ";
+    "dnd-none" = "󰂛";
+    "inhibited-notification" = " ";
+    "inhibited-none" = "";
+    "dnd-inhibited-notification" = " ";
+    "dnd-inhibited-none" = " ";
+  };
+  "return-type" = "json";
+  "exec-if" = "which swaync-client";
+  exec = "swaync-client -swb";
+  "on-click" = "sleep 0.1 && swaync-client -t -sw";
+  "on-click-right" = "sleep 0.1 && swaync-client -d -sw";
+  escape = true;
+};
+}
+```
+
+That's it!
