Partial The reader's UI and search are buildable, but a polished native macOS app with high-quality typeset Scripture needs native AppKit/Core Text work and Rust-to-Swift bridging that a vibe coder will struggle with.
What it would actually take: The likely stack is Rust core (search index, text model, USFM/OSIS parsing) with a native macOS shell via SwiftUI/AppKit and Core Text for layout, linked through FFI or UniFFI. The hard parts are high-quality typesetting and fast full-text search across translations. Public-domain texts are available, but building a polished macOS app needs native Mac development experience.
