how it works
Four steps. You only write the first one.
Zest turns a paragraph into a plan, the plan into code, and the code into a running app with a URL.
You write one paragraph. That’s your part done.
Zest plans the tables, auth, payments and emails.
Then writes the app and runs the tests.
And ships it to a real URL, SSL and all.
watch it build
One prompt, start to finish.
Scroll to follow a pottery studio booking app from first sentence to live site.
01 · prompt
You write a paragraph.
Plain words. Mention the things that matter to you, like seats per class or when reminders go out.
02 · code
Zest plans, then writes.
Schema first, then server code, then screens. Every file is readable TypeScript you can open.
03 · preview
It runs while you watch.
The preview is the real app on a real database. Click around, book a seat, break it on purpose.
04 · deploy
One click, one URL.
SSL, a domain, and a database in the region you pick. Most deploys finish in under a minute.

what you get
A real app, not a demo.
Everything a working product needs is there from the first build.
01
Full-stack by default
Frontend, backend and API routes in one project. No glue code, no separate repos to keep in sync.
02
A real database
Postgres with migrations Zest writes and explains. Your data is yours, not locked in a spreadsheet.
03
Sign-in that works
Email, magic links, Google and roles for your team. Password resets included, obviously.
04
Payments
Stripe checkout, subscriptions and deposits. Test mode first, so nobody gets charged by accident.
05
GitHub export
Push to your repo whenever you like. Keep building in Zest or take it from there in your editor.
06
Custom domains
Point your domain, Zest does SSL and redirects. Most domains are live in five minutes.
