## Best for

People who want to try an idea end to end before setting up a local toolchain.

## Why it deserves attention

Bolt runs the generated project inside a WebContainer in the browser: you prompt, it writes files, installs packages, runs the dev server and shows a live preview, and you can open and edit any file yourself. One click connects GitHub or deploys to Netlify, and integrations cover Supabase, Stripe and a few other services. It is the fastest way to get from an idea to a clickable prototype without installing anything, and the free tier gives a starting token allowance. The limits: heavy iterations consume tokens you pay for, the browser sandbox constrains native and long-running processes, and generated code still needs a real review before it goes anywhere near production.
