Description
nwg-drawer is an application drawer similar to the one in GNOME's de except that it should work independently from any desktop environment. It is built for Sway and Hyprland in mind but it should work with any wlroots based compositor according to the project's creator himself. This program should be useful for touchscreen based setups and other people who demand something like this since that's the only app drawer I could find.
