Documentation
Start with Building applications to choose a frontend-only or ZigBase-paired workflow. Read the feature backlog for planned work.
Start with the overview for what Zigapagos is and how a build runs. If you would rather have something on screen first, the quick start gets a site building in about five minutes, and the tutorial builds a real one with islands in it.
Building applications
Build directly or with an agent. Choose your backend or pair with ZigBase.
Feature backlog
Application workflows, frontend foundations, and evidence for growth.
