SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
Of course, workflow is subjective and should be as it's whatever best suits the user and their needs. What you describe is not even a workflow I could conceive of, not to say it doesn't serve you nicely. For me I only launch applications from the above mentioned launcher by typing the name or the start of the name. I have some custom desktop files that the launcher picks up as well for launching specific terminal sessions for example. From already running apps, I only ever navigate to them via the ctrl+tab and alt+tab hotkeys (for switching between apps and between windows of the current app respectively). NOTE: I don't tile, but I arrange my windows in a combination of "stacks" (multiple browser windows, multiple text editor windows) and side-by-side arrangement (Chat client, email inbox, and browser window all visible). Also worth mentioning, I use this window session manager to one-click restore these window arrangements that I've previously saved: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4709/another-window-session-manager/
