Editorial Review

Bolt.new leverages StackBlitz's WebContainers technology to create a genuinely novel development experience — a full Node.js environment running in your browser tab, powered by AI that can generate complete applications from conversation. The live preview updates in real-time as the AI writes code, which makes the iteration loop remarkably fast. For non-technical users and developers who want to quickly prototype ideas, Bolt.new is impressive. You can go from a text description to a deployed web application in minutes. The framework support is broad, covering React, Vue, Svelte, and more, and the Netlify deployment integration makes shipping straightforward. The limitations become apparent with more complex applications. The AI can struggle with intricate business logic, authentication flows, and database integrations. Token limits on lower-tier plans can be frustrating for larger projects, and the generated code sometimes prioritizes working quickly over maintainability. Teams building production applications will likely use Bolt.new for prototyping and then move to a traditional development environment.
