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.

Zooming User Interface (ZUI)
I made a proof-of-concept text viewer with this in mind - https://github.com/aappleby/wideboard
- Wideboard: Render _all_ of Linux's source code in a browser tab via WebGL
- Wideboard - Render tens of millions of lines of code in a browser tab at 60 fps using WebGL
- Wideboard: Render millions of lines of text at 60 FPS using WebGL (2013)
- Wideboard: Display millions of lines of text at 60 FPS using WebGL (2013)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing newm and wideboard you can also consider the following projects:
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
LookAtThat - Render source code in 3D, for macOS and iOS.
