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. 

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.

@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.

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.

AI dev tools like Lovable & Bolt.new are great, but are they missing something you really need?

• A must-have feature that s not there?

• A pain point they haven t solved?

Drop your thoughts below! Let s discuss.

You can now turn any Figma design into a pixel-perfect full stack app. Simply select a frame and put bolt.new in front of the Figma URL to start building rapid prototypes and production-ready apps.

Just built my entire website helloaria.in using bolt.new, and I m seriously impressed.

Let me walk you through the journey

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!

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?

With bolt.new you can prompt fullstack web applications into existence, see them executed in real-time, debug errors as they occur & deploy a fully functional app—all without ever leaving your browser or personally writing a single line of code!
