Zooming User Interface (ZUI)
There's a Wayland compositor called Newm [0] that uses a similar approach [1].

- I'm a tiling WM user but the concept of the scrolling window managers were new to me. This idea might be experimental but using it was fun. If you want to try it, CardBoard is a good start. I had fun using it for a couple of days and thought it's good to share it with you too.

Looking for a windows manager
I think newm can do that but it's still in alpha stage

Mimic scrollable tiling on sway.
I'm pretty sure it's not possible through sway. One project I'm keeping an eye on is newm.

Scrollable tiling WM alternative.
I don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for, but you could try newm

Making it real. Using Arch as backend.
If you are looking for ease of devolopment, you can try doing it using python based WMs: QTILE(Xorg) or maybe this https://github.com/jbuchermn/newm/(Wayland, new project)

Community editions you'd like to see
We've gotten cool stuff like BSPWM, Openbox, Sway, and Qtile, so I'm curious what y'all folks would be interested in seeing or maybe even working on. I've been doing my Pantheon shenanigans and might start a git to see if I can put something together there (even if it's just a script or something), but I wanna try something using the newm compositor because A) it's probably gonna be easier and B) I think it's got a cool newfangled sorta approach to window management that's the right kind of weird for EndeavourOS.

Cardboard; a scrollable tiling window manager
Er, on my laptop? It might be more precise to say that I can't find any way to make it use anything else; manpages give me nothing, grepping for "layout" in the source tree gives me nothing (relevant; window layouts show up), and there's an open issue (https://gitlab.com/cardboardwm/cardboard/-/issues/30) asking for it, all of which makes me conclude that it doesn't appear to support doing anything but QWERTY. That said, I said "AFAICT" for a reason; if you can prove me wrong I'll be quite grateful (because, seriously, I would like to use this thing).

Introducing River, a Dynamic Tiling Wayland Compositor
Would it be possible to use the 'layout generator' functionality to create scrolling workspaces in the style of PaperWM or cardboard? Where rather than tiling the traditional way into the space available on the monitor, windows are tiled next to each other in columns on an essentially infinitely wide workspace and scrolled to bring the focused window onto the monitor.

Scud - managing windows by tiling and sliding
PaperWM is the original inspiration, but then I acted on the suggestion of one of the developers of cardboard and made a plugin for Wayfire.
