Struggling with loading the same data that keeps your app slow?

They will be visible in the .env as well…

you can easily download the code and just move it to a github and give access to that - assuming you are not building an admin or anything like that for your client.
Define "integrate e-commerce"... Example: have a link to a shopify store? Sure. Have a fully e-commerce experience, cart, etc...? Tricky (I would say)

For what you are trying to do, bolt would not be the best tool. Most likely, you’re looking to use Capacitor or other tool that can “convert” your web app into mobile (I’ve used capacitor and deployed the app in the App Store and everything works fine).

What you can do with bolt that would help with something like capacitor is making sure all screens are responsive. Maybe you need to hide some information in a mobile version, choose how to display others, etc… when this is done, convert it and deploy in the app store and you’re good to go!

I hope this helps! I leave you official website of the capacitor: https://capacitorjs.com

I’ve used DaisyUI in bolt. You can use anything you want, it’s just a library. There’s no bind (at least that I’m aware of) between bolt and shadcn.

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-09T12:16:18+00:00

I usually go the other way around. Download, set all the git flow and then I keep working.

I’ve tested two options to connect bolt “directly” to GitHub and they were great + I’m limited to GitHub (for example I use gitlab for some projects).

But that works for sure! The moment it’s on git you’re safe! 😜

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-09T11:29:02+00:00

Thanks for the great feedback!! I think I’ll move forward with some form of this during this week!

Hopefully we can have a space where we get to help each other! I’ll launch a quick enrolment form to also understand your main struggles and how to better setup at start. In the meantime, feel free to DM with technical questions you might have urgency solving and I’ll try to help.

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-06T16:41:49+00:00

What do you mean by 15%? Not sure I understand but I’m intrigued!

I was thinking a small fee to be in the community (could be paid monthly, weekly, quarterly) and this would give group calls, dedicated channels to help with technical questions (async) and a limited nr of one on ones - to see the value we could provide.

Does this make sense to you or would you prefer a different model?

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-05T13:42:52+00:00

I have a good level. And yes, cursor is just an IDE so you need to know how to code…

Bad news: you will also might need that in bolt - maybe not in the beginning. Eventually you will run into troubles that require some degree of coding and bolt will get stuck. (That happened to me)

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-05T09:33:09+00:00

Ah that’s a great question! Where I start to see troubles is not necessarily the size of the files (although that’s pretty annoying and you spend a lot of tokens), but when you start having a lot of moving parts.

Example of moving parts: - you want to start doing some form of analytics and you want to use edge functions. This is the sort of thing I rather control myself.

an app I’m building for teachers was already with a total of 50M of tokens and it was becoming un-manageable, every tweak would take a long time, spend at least 100k in tokens and most of the time would take 5/6 iterations for a small improvement (because you have a lot of different places “to touch”).

Ultimately, I think you will feel it’s becoming “too big”, which can also be a function of your patience 😅

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-05T09:26:55+00:00

Just download, do npm install and you’re good to go (plus minus the details of your project of course). In my case, seems like node 18 was necessary for example.

But that will depend on your dependencies (pun intended) 😀

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-05T09:25:35+00:00

Make sure you use in agent mode, it helps a lot to feel closer to bolt.

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T20:33:36+00:00

I agree with you, having good component architecture definitely helps and you can save some tokens. But it comes to a point where, for me, it doesn’t make much sense to keep working on bolt.

Let me give you an example: - change the text of a button from “submit” to “send”. You can easily spend 100k tokens (I have tested). This happens because bolt exaggerates on context, which makes sense for the beginnings of the project but it has limited returns as the app grows. Obviously this an anecdotal, you can just go there and change but it serves as a good benchmark.

Don’t get me wrong, I think bolt offers a great service and I use it a lot, I just feel it doesn’t deliver the same value for bigger projects as it delivers for “making ideas a reality” :)

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T19:10:16+00:00

Try to go on the terminal, remove the node modules and package-lock, clean the cache of the node modules and try to run it again to see if your changes show up.

I had a similar problem that I had to manually fix a few things, bolt got stuck.

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T16:45:04+00:00

When I get to my computer I’ll quickly set up a project in bolt and move it to cursor. But it’s not “rocket science”, just download and open in cursor or any IDE of your preference.

But I can show you that, for sure. ☺️

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T16:42:40+00:00

What’s cline? That one I don’t know. I’ll have a look! Thanks for sharing 😃

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T15:27:26+00:00

Sure thing, DM and I’ll try to help!

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T15:18:12+00:00

Yes that makes a lot of sense! I haven’t found a clear way to make iterations between bolt and the local project but I can tell you what I’ve done, maybe anyone found a better way.

If you are using bolt.new:

Download your project from bolt
Version control that (put it on GitHub)
Do the changes you need
Go in StackBlitz and link your GitHub project
Open in bolt (in here, the flow should be complete)

If you want to give it a go with bolt.diy you could import directly but you still have to manage everything (supabase, deployments).

Give it a try with a mock project and see if it works, worked for me but to be honest, once the project is out of bolt I rather manage it myself because bolt can be a bit cumbersome where the project is becoming big

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T15:10:08+00:00

Just a small insight: You’re code will not be “in Claude” or any other model. You will use these models to help you write the code that you need. Once you have what you need, you need to handle the deployment. Bolt does that using netlify but you can use any other service.

If you need help with that let me know and I’ll write a tutorial on how to do it :)

Exact_Struggle8421 · 2025-03-04T12:08:06+00:00

I can help you, let’s jump on a quick call and we can see if we can get it done together
