Thanks! This is very interesting. But whats the actual usecase other than security issues and not wanting to set up local environments

Wait, Stackblitz web containers run backends in the browser?! Is there video or article on this? Not going to read the docs obv

In this case a backend is required. I'm not sure bolt does backend integration

Thanks! Bolt added canvas confetti

Thanks! And yes

Currently I use bolt more just for the prototype to be able to validate the idea. So the process is the same its just I can build a reasonable prototype much quicker with bolt.

Idea -> Excalidraw design -> Bolt prototype-> Validate with users

not sure, I pay for it

midjourney, you can specify dimensions

oof

I'd be honoured if you try it 😊

Thanks! Styling and such is much easier if you use a component library from the start

would love to join 🚀

hmm, try sending it more screenshots

yeah but what about another over engineered todo list?

check out this prototype

peppy-cajeta-eed7bd.netlify.app

my first try sucked as well haha. what did you try to build?

I spent ~3 days building a kanban board prototype entirely with @bolt.new

Let me know if you would use 👇

peppy-cajeta-eed7bd.netlify.app

can you share it please

I think this is probably the wrong way to go anyway.

The core audience likely doesn’t need much education on this topic—it’s more about making onboarding seamless.

I'd suggest making the hero section of the landing page a live product demo, like 'Warning: Mouthbreathing Detected'

not gonna lie, this looks really nice

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, what app did you build with react + rails?

Thanks! Would you be interested in trying it as a product if I actually launch it?

Thank you for that, what do you then do to have static webpages such as a blog etc?

I gather from this that you use rails as a backend only and react or something else as frontend?

Very exctied for this. I'm pretty fed up with the whole turbo stimiulus setup. The html partials rendered through turbo are just so fragile. Every change in logic means changing a lot of files

why did you try to talk yourself out of it? do you have any specific grievances?

Very cool, do you mean as a monolith or as a backend?

What issues have you had with next js?

Will check out inertia js.

Do you agree that rails is where the future is?

The work is never just "the work", it includes the work around the work, the work to get to the work, the work before the work, the work itself of course, but also the the work between the work, the work beyond the work, the work outside the work, and the work after the work.

Work is like a hill, where you are first climbing up the hill trying to figure things out and facing uncertainty, unknowns, and solving problems. Then, after you get to the top of the hill, you can just head downhill, making things happen by working with more certainty, confidence, and execution.

I see people in tech complaining about estimations all of the time. Understandably so. Estimations don't work and mean next to nothing. These two images (one from @davestewart.uk and one from Basecamp) beautifully capture the true reality of understanding work 🧵
