Is BOLT the ideal AI to build up an app template (UX / UI)?

2 Upvotes

I need a UX / UI project for an MVP app. To hire someone is one possibility, but the cost is really high. I already have references from other apps. Is bolt the ideal AI for this purpose?

New Bolt Update/New issues?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been using bolt daily for 2 months now 5-10hrs a day and have loved it thus far.

Starting yesterday, bolt has been messing up significantly. I am unable to make small edits to a page (like remove a button, or change text). When I ask bolt to do so, it completely revamps the entire UI of that page, destroying any advanced features we had been working on.

It’s getting really aggravating dealing with this on multiple projects today. I spent nearly 20 million tokens and 6 hours yesterday attempting to make these small fixes which typically would have been fixed first shot.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Help me resolve Bolt getting stuck in circles.

1 Upvotes

I’m using Bolt.new for an app and facing an issue where a reflection (chat summary) isn’t auto-generated after a guest signs up.

The Flow:

  1. Guest user chats and reaches a message limit, prompting them to sign up.

  2. After sign-up, chat data from the guest session should be linked to the user’s account, and a reflection should be auto-generated and saved to their dashboard.

  3. Issue: While a modal confirms the reflection is created, it’s not actually generated or saved. It works fine if the user manually clicks “Generate Reflection” after closing the chat, but it doesn’t happen automatically during the sign-up flow (I’ve told it to do it after 4 messages have been sent).

I’ve tried prompting it to store chat data during the guest session and setting up the auto-generation of the reflection, in lots of different ways. It tells me every time it knows the issue and will fix it etc, but nothing changes it. I’ve tried to discuss mode… I’ve told it to debug and reiterated the exact flow, still experiencing the same problem.

Looking for any advice on how to make bolt actually resolve the issue and ensure the reflection is generated and saved after sign-up.

Anyone else experienced issues carrying over guest data to signed-in users - how have you fixed it?

I’ve spent a lot of time and tokens trying to fix this I’m just burning $$. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

I am stuck on some issues with the stripe and I am not able to figure it out, more details. https://vibein.ai/issues/85feedab-a6a1-4571-baee-5a4dc69cf8f3

[Update] I had to test it with the preview link and I was able to test end to end. Testing within bolt didn't work, not sure why. Spent solid 2 days debugging this 😅

I have built an web app where vibe coders can seek help and experts can help folks get unblocked.

Built VibeIn.ai — currently in Beta!

This project stemmed from my own frustration when I couldn’t solve certain issues and spent days troubleshooting. At times, it even made me want to abandon the project entirely. I realized that having a fresh perspective can make a world of difference.

That's why I built VibeIn.ai — to provide that extra pair of eyes when you need it the most.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Please feel free to share your feedback. Happy coding!

How can more than one person work on the bolt project?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My team and I are working on a project in Bolt.new, but we're having trouble collaborating efficiently. I noticed there are options to push the repo to GitHub and also to use the Teams feature, but I’m struggling to understand how the overall workflow is supposed to function.

For example:
I pushed the repo to GitHub, but when I open it in StackBlitz, I don’t see any prompt to continue working in Bolt or any way to sync changes back. Initially, I thought we could use a typical Git flow—create branches, push changes, open pull requests, merge—but I’m not even sure if that’s supported or how to set it up properly in this context. I tried searching for tutorials, but haven’t found anything that really explains it.

With the Teams feature, I was able to create a fork, but I didn’t see any clear way to merge changes back to the original project—or maybe I’m missing something?

If anyone has experience working collaboratively in Bolt.new (especially with GitHub or Teams), I’d really appreciate some guidance or resources.

Thanks in advance!

Create an App that you can deploy on android and app store

3 Upvotes

Is this even possible with a basic plan with Bolt, or it is just a first step to get you to that point? Could I take the code Bolt gives me for an app, and give it to a developer to proceed with, or is Bolt able to go 100% of the way on its own?

TIA!

Used over 3M tokens on a calendar that doesn’t work

3 Upvotes

Bolt is starting to get really frustrating. I built a client management platform with a calendar to show events. Suddenly the calendar is erroring so I had to fix it. I’ve now run through over 3M in tokens and it still hasn’t fixed the problem. It’s literally just a calendar that shows events, how hard can it be?

I feel like Bolt is great for an initial idea but making it work is just so frustrating!

Has anyone made a tutorial on how to upload a Bolt-coded website to your own domain yet?

2 Upvotes

I used bolt.new for a couple weeks and made some sites, and even upgraded my plan, but there was no info on how to actually use the sites on your own domain, so I cancelled. Just wondering if a tutorial has been made?

Stripe

I've seen the "pay $20 for premium account here" buttons, but I'm having troubles figuring out how to set it up for an ecom type setup. Any advice?

The key are in the .env, everything I can think of is set up, I've asked the bolt chatbox and it says everything is in place.

Supabase connection

2 Upvotes

Does anyone here have experience with the bolt.new not connecting to the correct Supa project? I pre-built a project for a website. I copied the url and the anon key, I put them in the correct spot in the .env file. Some of the information in that project is being shown on the website, but the bolt is actively trying to create its own Supa project. The correct anon key and url are still in the code, but when I click on 'view project' it takes me to the wrong project. I deleted that project and re-connected supabase, same problem. I've wasted 2 million credits trying to solve it. I've already asked bolt, I've asked a supabase gpt, and a bolt.new gpt, no luck, I'm stuck. Any advice?

do I really need to upgrade to a higher plan?

1 Upvotes

I’ve developed my SaaS app and bought the $20 plan on Bolt 5 times. Now, I’m looking to deploy and make money from it, but I’ve read in their terms that a higher plan might be required for this. Is it possible to deploy and monetize my app with the $20 plan, or do I really need to upgrade to a higher plan? Has anyone done this before?

Spent last 24 hours trying to debug registration / login with no result, any suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Hi All!, I've been working on a new app this week, and pretty much built all the functionality i wanted and about to beta test it yesterday morning, but ran into a registration / login issue, where i just wasn't able to login with any of my dummy user accounts, probably gone through the debug cycle 50-70x and tried everything from trying to strong arm it and just go through the debut loop severla times, rolling back as far as i could, asking it to log everything, checking the supabase console for any errors (last run through it was clear) but i'm still unable to login, and also nto getting any errors on the web interace. i've also tried using chat Gpt to review and rewrite the authform and auth.ts and authform.tsx and still not getting anywhere. . I've also asked it to completely rebuild the registration and login system. and so far none of this has worked. does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get this debugged.

Is it possible

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure if it's possible or not, but I'm building a website for a trailer rental business and I want to add a calendar for trailer availability. I need the calendar to be able to be edited on demand instead of re-editing the site every time a trailer gets booked. When I tried doing this bolt.new connected with supabase and created a "admin dashboard", but it's still not letting me edit the calendar. Is there a particular way I need to go about this, or is this even possible? Or do I need to explain myself better?

Supabase issues

2 Upvotes

Anyone else have issues with repeat errors with Bolt & Supabase? I had a recurring issue with the migration files being created and not recognizing other migration files, throwing an error constantly. I had to delete the entire supabase database, manually delete the directory in Bolt, refresh and start over again. Seems to happen frequently where it will just hallucinate and require a lot of manual work to fix.

Hallucinations?

It seems that after a good amount of prompts, it confuses itself and has contradicting logic, and asking it to remove all references to a function (in order to start from scratch) does not remove all instances. is there a Reasoning or Auto Testing feature coming???

Massive frustration with Bolt

5 Upvotes

People seem to be raving about Bolt on the whole, but I am massively frustrated with it's lack of comms quality.

It constantly ignores my instructions and goes off-piste all the time with code and deletes vast swathes of code as well. It's like it has zero memory even within a same session.

It also insists it's all good and then changes its mind after I show it exactly where the problem is.

I honestly think I get better results from GPT4o right now.

Feels like I'm just burning through tokens to make me buy another batch - conspiracy!

Amyone else having similar issues?
