Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Describe an app, see it running immediately. The fastest path from idea to working prototype.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
“bolt.new represents the convergence of AI generation and instant execution. This is how rapid prototyping will work.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
