Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Describe an app, see it running immediately. The fastest path from idea to working prototype.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“bolt.new represents the convergence of AI generation and instant execution. This is how rapid prototyping will work.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
