Bolt.new announced the world's largest hackathon with $1M+ in prizes
@Vercel hosted a Next.js Global Hackathon last week, and @bolt.new pushed it one step forward by announcing hackathon.dev — the world’s largest hackathon for non-devs and vibe coders with $1M+ in prizes!
It will start on May 30. Any plans to join it? Curious what the community will build.
Everything I Learned Building My Landing Page and Web Application on Bolt.new
Hey p/bolt-new community,
I recently started building Couples Hub (https://coupleshub.io/) a React-based application and Next.js based landing page using Bolt.new. Couples Hub is a product of my hobby brand "MD Meets Techie" which I've run for the past four years, creating digital products specifically for couples. Given my technical background, diving into Bolt.new was kind of a fun experiment (esp given how drab and boring my day job is). I noted several challenges along the way and I thought I'll share a few tips on what I've learned thus far.
Product Hunt X Bolt March 2025 Hackathon Submissions!!!
Tonight, we are hosting a small hackathon in Phoenix in partnership with @bolt.new! All the hackers get free credits to build whatever they can imagine during the hackathon. Thanks Bolt for the hookup! In this forum thread, all the hackers will submit their projects and vote on their favorite one (they can't vote on their own).
The top project will get hunted on @Product Hunt by me! If you want to follow along, come back to this thread in an hour or so and the submissions will start rolling in.
AMA w/ CEO of Bolt - from $0 to $20M and how we almost didn't make it
Live Feb 28th, 9am PT - drop your questions!
Hi everyone, CEO of Bolt here! Super excited to open up about our journey and offer any learnings and stories I can to help other makers on their journey. Within a span of 2 months we've grown to $20M in revenue and were recently featured in NYT as paving the way for vibe coding.
🛠 Has anyone built a production app with bolt.new?
I’ve been playing around with it, and it’s wild how fast it spins up a full-stack app from a prompt. But I’m wondering:
How well does it generate code for real-world use?
Any prompting tips to get better results?
How does it compare to others like Lovable?
Also, do you think tools like Bolt (full app generation) are the future, or will the Cursor-style coding assistant approach win out?
Would love to hear from anyone who's pushed this beyond a test project! 🚀
Bolt vs Lovable, which do you prefer?
Currently playing around with @bolt.new after being inspired by @gabe and building a bunch of mini apps, mainly for fun. Haven't pushed any to production yet but so far I'm enjoying it bar the odd hiccup where I have to roll back a few times to fix a stubborn error.
I've also looked into @Lovable and it seems pretty cool but wanted to see what people had to say about it. Is there any reason to pick one over the other and which one have you settled on?
