Bolt.new

Bolt.new is a flagship “vibe coding” tool. Its environment control and strong integrations make it unusually practical: you can plan in Discussion Mode, then implement, publish, and iterate without local setup headaches. Great for MVPs, prototypes, hackathons, and many production-ready web apps. Complex non-JS backends still require other stacks.
