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

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

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'

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?
comment in response to

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

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

If it’s lightweight like Excalidraw it can be nice

Yes, dealing with that right now. Some feature it made 1 hour ago is now not working because you added a completely unrelated feature.

sometimes, usually you're going to want to as bolt to tweak it to get it right.
comment in response to
post
Yes:
1. go step by step, dont make huge changes at once
2. send it screenshots of the parts you want to amend if you cant describe it well
3. send it sketches of how you want it to look like
4. send it a screenshot of the bug code rather than using 'attempt fix'
5. define your words
