Sry I dont have any examples I could share.
You would build your application as any other vue.js app. Best to 
look at their documentation. Vibe.d is only used a a web server. 
You could use arsd or other libs for that too.
Finally I use chromium embedded framework to make it a native 
app. See https://github.com/Zoadian/cefBasedViewerExample for an 
simple example. (Only supports minimum cef functionality for now)
