Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

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

80/100 · ship

End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.

Creator

Describe an app, see it running immediately. The fastest path from idea to working prototype.

80/100 · ship

bolt.new represents the convergence of AI generation and instant execution. This is how rapid prototyping will work.

80/100 · ship

Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.

Skeptic
No panel take
45/100 · skip

Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.
