`zero-native`: Build desktop and mobile apps with `Zig` and web UI

A tiny native shell can wrap a web frontend into desktop apps without bundling a browser runtime when using the system WebView. That cuts binary size and startup cost, but teams that need pixel-perfect rendering will still trade up to Chromium.

[ KEY POINTS ]

Using the system WebView avoids shipping a full browser engine, so binaries stay small and launch faster.
The stack targets macOS, Windows, and Linux from one web UI, which lowers the cost of turning an existing SaaS frontend into an installable app.
Zig at the shell layer suggests tighter native control than Electron-style wrappers, with less runtime overhead.
If rendering consistency matters more than footprint, the Chromium path is still on the table; the value depends on whether size or parity is the bigger constraint.

`RevenueCat` Adds Flexible Discounts for Web Billing
60radar
RevenueCatSubscription billing infra — unified app and web subscriptions
Web subscriptions can now use percentage discounts, promo codes, and win-back offers. Useful for churn recovery and price testing without wiring discount logic yourself.
- Percentage-off discounts and promo codes now apply to RevenueCat web subscribers, reducing custom billing work.
- Win-back offers target cancelled or lapsed users. That gives churn recovery a built-in path instead of ad hoc email-only campaigns.
- The scope is web billing, not App Store pricing. Best fit is a paid web checkout where discount tests can move quickly.

Stripe Link CLIPayment CLI — one-time credentials from a Link wallet
Agents can receive one-time payment credentials from a Link wallet without storing raw card data. Useful for agentic commerce experiments; production value depends on merchant support.
- Issues one-time credentials from a Link wallet, so agents can complete purchases without keeping actual card details.
- Supports two credential types: broadly usable virtual card PAN and an S... option based on Machine Payment Protocols.
- This is payment infrastructure, not just automation. It opens tests for delegated checkout, procurement bots, and agent-run SaaS workflows.

`AI Gateway` adds request-time provider ranking controls

AI GatewayAI routing service — failover across model providers
Routing can now optimize on price, first-token latency, or throughput at request time instead of Vercel's blended default. Useful when one model has many providers and the cheapest or fastest route materially changes margin or UX.
- Set sort on providerOptions.gateway to 'cost', 'ttft', or 'tps' depending on whether margin, snappiness, or long-output speed matters most.
- Ranking is computed at request time, so newly added providers, price changes, and observed latency shifts flow through without code changes.
- Fallback is strict: providers are attempted in sorted order, and the next one is used only if the higher-ranked provider is unavailable.
- sort works with Zero Data Retention filtering and with order; pinned providers stay first, then the rest follow the chosen ranking.
- Each response exposes routing metadata with a sort block showing candidates, metric values, attempt order, and health-based deprioritization for debugging.
