Time/date aware autostart manager. The script: [.config/sway/scripts/startup.py](./outerheaven.init3.home/.config/sway/scripts/startup.py)
This reads [.config/autostart-i3ipc.yml](./outerheaven.init3.home/.config/autostart-i3ipc.yml)
to know what programs to `exec`. Example:

```bash
~ $ cat ~/.config/sway/config
# Config for sway
#
# See `man 5 sway` for a complete reference.
# [...]
# run script which handles conditional/timely autostarts. uses dict w/ this structure:
# {'autostarts': { 'pre': [], 'weekend': [], 'common': [], 'work': []}}
exec 'python3 ~/.config/sway/scripts/startup.py'
```
This reads [autostart-i3ipc.yml](./outerheaven.init3.home/.config/autostart-i3ipc.yml)
_(in `~/.config`)_ to know what programs to `exec`.
