It is a reference list, not code to install, each linked project has its own separate setup steps.
Awesome Vercel Native is a community curated list of links, not a piece of software you install and run. It collects apps, examples, libraries, and tools built with Native SDK, an open source project from Vercel Labs for building small, fast desktop applications using the Zig programming language. Native SDK itself lets developers build desktop apps with native rendered interfaces, GPU backed drawing surfaces, embedded WebViews for reusing existing web frontends, and a packaging system for shipping the finished app across platforms. This list exists to point people toward real projects that use it, official documentation, and supporting tools, rather than to explain Native SDK in depth itself. The list is organized into sections covering official resources like the changelog and quick start guide, component libraries and packages, integrations with frontend frameworks such as Next.js, React, Svelte, and Vue, a large collection of finished apps, code examples, reusable skills, visual theme packs, and developer tooling. The apps section is the biggest part of the list and shows the range of things people have built: a macOS audiobook generator, a Windows image compressor, a GIF creation tool, a cross platform email client for Gmail and Outlook, a local AI coding assistant, a visual asset manager, a menu bar utility for tracking AI token usage, and several music, video, and messaging apps, among others. Each entry links out to its own repository along with a short description of what it does and which parts of Native SDK it relies on. This project is meant for developers who are already building with, or curious about, Native SDK and want a starting point to see real working examples before writing their own app. It does not include installation steps of its own, since each linked project has its own setup instructions.
