Exploring Bolt.New live: The Next Big Thing in Development with AI, Fullstack Apps in Your Browser!

Join me LIVE as we dive into Bolt.New, the latest tool from StackBlitz that lets you build, develop, and run full-stack web apps entirely in your browser – no local installations or server needed!

In this stream, we’ll explore:

✨ Bolt.New Overview: See how this open-source tool works, using the Remix framework and Web Container technology to handle full-stack development within a secure browser environment.

🔧 Download and Run Locally: I’ll walk you through downloading and running Bolt.New on your own machine, showcasing how easy it is to get started without complex configurations.

🛠️ Making AI-Powered Changes: We’ll experiment by adding OpenRouter API support, enabling you to select from multiple AI models, including free options. Plus, we’ll make it possible to add your own API keys directly in the browser!

🗂️ File Upload & Download: We will try to add functionality to upload and download files in a working project, a feature missing in the current version.

🌐 Self-Hosting & Deployment: We’ll try to self-host Bolt.New on my server and deployed it on Netlify – all part of seeing how this tool can handle real-world use cases.

This is going to be a hands-on session with live coding, problem-solving, and experimentation, perfect for developers interested in AI, web apps, and open-source tools! 🙌

🔴 Don’t miss it – let’s build together, live!

Stream is over:
What was achieved was pushed to this repo:

Mainly two things were done:
- add support for open router and custom API keys set from client
- the ability to export project as ZIP

There was an issue with the sound, my setup was capturing and streaming the microphone, but also capturing device audio with lag, so there was an echo.

Hey couple of questions :) can we still use our anthropic key with your fork ?
And do you think upload is doable :o?

There are still tons of bugs and support is extremely unhelpful . They essentially offered a refund and told me to use a different platform. The issues were never resolved. it's a great idea but I would five it a few months before paying again. Also, you burn through the 10 million tokens in a few hours of real coding. You would need at least 50 million tokens a week. Mostly due to the system creating errors then taking hours to fix the errors. Not worth it yet.
