Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“Describe an app, see it running immediately. The fastest path from idea to working prototype.”
“As a creator, I can now prototype landing pages in minutes instead of hours. The Figma-to-code flow is a game changer for my workflow.”
“bolt.new represents the convergence of AI generation and instant execution. This is how rapid prototyping will work.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
