CTA: We need Web Developers to Contribute to GNOME!
I'll say it because it kinda saddens me, but contributing to gnome is not a fun experience. Even though I would be normally super excited about such a request and would be happy to contibute to a FOSS project that I like (I did https://github.com/romgrk/web-toolkit and https://github.com/romgrk/node-gtk after all), my experience with many of the long term contributors to gnome has simply been too disheartening. You guys should think about why so many people are put off from contributing to gnome.

GTK 4.2.0 is out! New GL renderer, input hints, and a whole new API reference
Look, all I'm saying is GTK needs to do better in terms of documentation, it has been needing it for years. I've worked on nodejs bindings for years and I've more than once stopped worked on it altogether simply out of frustration due to the absence of proper documentation for the whole ecosystem. Please, don't take all this as an attack, I'd be happy to help. But I think you're limiting the project by applying restrictions that chase those who could help.

How are you configuring touchpad gestures?
Sure thing! appgrid.sh is just a single command calling nwggrid from nwg launchers, a series of graphical shell tools for sway. It was originally started in C++ but the author started the project again in Go.

GNOME-style Application menu for other DE's?
Maybe nwg-launchers could work.

nwg-dock 0.0.1 ready for testing
This is the last (at least for now) missing part of nwg-shell for sway: autotiling, Azote, nwg-launchers, nwg-panel and nwg-dock.

Manjaro Sway Edition
Just installed it, still looking around. I can make a suggestion that could horrify some (but be a nice possibility with very little added space), make a keybind (I use super+m (you know menu)) for nwg-launchers (https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-launchers). Nice overlay menu much like the gnome menu. Yes I know...we have dmenu/rofi/etc. But I just found this and it looks surprising on sway (lol). It's on the AUR. Both the grid and the bar look good, there's also his custom dmenu app.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing node-gtk and nwg-launchers you can also consider the following projects:
gnome-keyring-yubikey-unlock - This is a read-only mirror for https://git.recolic.net/root/gnome-keyring-yubikey-unlock
sway-launcher-desktop - TUI Application launcher with Desktop Entry support. Made for SwayWM, but runs anywhere
marker - Convert PDF to markdown + JSON quickly with high accuracy
nwg-bar - GTK3-based button bar for wlroots-based compositors
SwiftGtk - A Swift wrapper around gtk-3.x and gtk-4.x that is largely auto-generated from gobject-introspection
nwg-dock - GTK3-based dock for sway
