About
About Bolt.new
Prompt → running web app in one tab
Bolt.new (StackBlitz) uses WebContainers so generated full-stack apps preview in the browser without a local install. The job is speed-to-demo: investor walkthroughs, hackathon MVPs, “what if the product looked like this?”
A useful constraint
Treat output as a prototype until auth, data model, and deploy path survive a hostile review. Shipping the first HTML is easy; surviving production traffic is a different project.
When to leave
Native mobile, complex monorepos, and regulated data workflows outgrow the sandbox. Export or rebuild in Cursor when engineering standards kick in.
Neighbors
Lovable for product-UI-forward vibe coding; v0 for React/Tailwind components; Replit when you want a longer-lived cloud IDE, not only a generate-and-preview loop.
