bolt.gives: open-source agentic coding platform

Describe an app in plain English; the agent writes files, installs deps, runs the dev server and self-repairs until the app actually works.

Why it matters

MIT-licensed and self-hostable; works with any LLM provider, and 'Preview is the contract' - it verifies the app loads and auto-recovers from dependency/startup failures instead of just emitting code.

What you could build with it

Self-host it to spin up throwaway MVP frontends from one-line briefs: describe the app, get a working prototype.

First spotted on dev.to: source.
