vercel-labs/zero-native — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me zero native, a lightweight way to make native desktop apps using normal web interfaces.

I want a command line tool that can create a starter app, then run it with Zig and open a real desktop window showing the web UI. It should support common frontend starters like React, Vue, Svelte, and Next, but keep the native shell small and fast. Let users choose the built in system WebView for tiny apps, or Chromium when they need more consistent rendering.

Please include a simple app manifest where someone can set the app name, version, icons, windows, web engine, allowed origins, and permissions. Add a safe bridge so JavaScript in the web page can call approved Zig commands, with clear checks for origin, permissions, and message size.

Make examples for macOS, Linux, and Windows desktop apps, plus basic iOS and Android embedding examples. Include useful docs and a quick start so someone can install the tool, create an app, and run it quickly.
