Bolt.new by StackBlitz is honestly one of the most impressive tools I’ve come across for web development. It combines manual coding with AI-powered features so seamlessly. You can give it plain text prompts, and it generates a solid codebase for your app—front-end, back-end, and even databases like Supabase. Plus, it runs everything in your browser with no setup hassles.
The fact that you can use frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, or even Astro is a huge win. It also lets you install NPM packages, configure backends, and deploy your project instantly to Netlify. This makes prototyping or creating an MVP super quick and efficient.
What I loved the most is the error detection AI—it’s not just about generating code; it actively fixes issues and gives suggestions. Deployment is a breeze too—one click, and your app is live. Sure, there might be some limits with heavy UI customization, but for quick projects or demos, this tool is perfect. It’s definitely a game-changer for developers exploring new tech or building proofs of concept.
