Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”

“Describe an app, see it running immediately. The fastest path from idea to working prototype.”
“bolt.new represents the convergence of AI generation and instant execution. This is how rapid prototyping will work.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
