Question for windows resize & floating window
For 3. I use nwg-bar and put a small power glyph (nerd font) on the top right of my waybar that triggers the popup on click.
- A dock for Wayland - How to get started? Basic information? Is it a compositor?

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?

go-wlroots - Go binding for wlroots
sway-launcher-desktop - TUI Application launcher with Desktop Entry support. Made for SwayWM, but runs anywhere
Waybar - Highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors. :v: :tada:
dwm-relative-controls - Simple yet useful dwm patch
pasystray - PulseAudio system tray
win3wm - A Tiling Window Manager for windows 10, Inspired by i3wm
clipman - A simple clipboard manager for Wayland
