command line menu / launcher?
I use sway-launcher-desktop. It does not really have submenus as you requested, but is still a nice terminal application launcher.

Albert – open-source keyboard launcher for Linux
I don’t know if anything can beat sway-launcher-desktop (1) for me - bash and fzf are a lightning-fast combo.

terminal + fzf as a program launcher?
Sounds like this script https://github.com/Biont/sway-launcher-desktop (it doesn't depend on sway anymore). I've been using it for ages and really like it.

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.

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.
