Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“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.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
