Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“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.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
