Reviewer scorecard
“AI-generated full-stack apps running instantly in the browser. The StackBlitz WebContainer foundation makes it actually work.”

“bolt.new represents the convergence of AI generation and instant execution. This is how rapid prototyping will work.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
