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.

Is there any bar for Sway similar to the panels of KDE / Xfce / Gnome2 / Windows ? I wish to always see on my screen which windows I have open, shown and focused.
It's possible I most bars/panels, I reckon. The screenshot comes from nwg-panel.
