Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“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.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
