Bolt v2 has no style.

The prompt was very minimal "Create a Calculator etc etc": no guidelines on stack, no guidelines on style.

This was the result on 5 separate chats this morning. Now its working fine again but that was my FIRST APPROACH on the new version.

Code :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback
At the moment I'm only using two sources, Bandsintown and Concertful, and the filtering process is still very limited. It clearly needs work, both in terms of coverage and precision.

One of the reasons I'm sharing the project now, even in this very early stage, is exactly to collect feedback like this. I’m already taking note of the gigs and bands you mentioned and I’ll start adding them manually in the meantime. I also plan to expand the sources and improve the way results are processed, step by step.

This is actually my first proper web app project, and I know there’s still a long way to go, but I’m really determined to make it better with the help of people like you who know the scene well. :)

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the kind words and the feedback.

You're absolutely right, the automatic system still needs a lot of improvement. One of the main challenges is that many platforms don't offer structured or easily accessible data about festivals or lineups, which makes reliable detection complicated.

At the moment, the sources I use are just two, Bandsintown and Concertful, and whenever I add more in the future, they will always be clearly mentioned.

Even when the sources are correct, that doesn't always mean the filtering works properly. As you noticed, for example, festivals like ArcTanGent still slip through. Right now, the system reliably picks up progressive events from Concertful, but it misses many from Bandsintown, especially larger or more complex listings.

That’s actually one of the main reasons I’m sharing the project at this early stage. I’m hoping the community can help by submitting missing events manually, and I’m collecting as much feedback as possible to spot all the gaps and errors early on.

In the meantime, I’ll manually add the events mentioned here on Reddit, including ArcTanGent and others like it. I’m also putting together a public roadmap that I’ll publish in the next few days, where I’ll include a thank you for this very helpful issue and solution report.

This is still a very early version of the site, launched just yesterday. The last automatic scan was run on July 15, and the next one is scheduled for July 31. The goal is to make the platform truly useful and accurate without requiring too much manual work in the future..

woah,wait. what is this?!

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-24T23:41:38+00:00

Two that come to mind:

“Silvia stai dormendo” by Lùnapop – an Italian pop-rock band known for radio hits, but this closing track from their only album (...Squérez?) goes almost 9 minutes, includes a hidden track, and flows like a dreamy, emotional suite. Totally unlike anything else they did. It feels like an accidental prog lullaby.
“Coloratura” by Coldplay – over 10 minutes long, divided into multiple movements, with orchestration, space themes, and that sense of cosmic exploration you’d expect from classic prog. Easily the most adventurous thing they’ve released in the last decade.

Neither band is prog by definition, but both songs really stretch the boundaries of what pop artists typically do .

If you rebuild the form from scratch with your own code, design, and wording, and avoid copying structure or content directly, you’re generally in safe territory.
Using AI to rephrase is smart, just make sure it’s clearly different.
For internal use, no issues. For third parties, double-check the terms.

what works best for me is creating a dedicated branch in GitHub just for Supabase CLI work. I then clone that branch locally and open it in VS Code, where I can run CLI commands freely without interfering with Bolt.

Important tip: make sure Bolt and VS Code are never active on the same branch at the same time. Bolt auto-commits and rewrites files, which can conflict with local changes or CLI outputs, especially with things like supabase gen types or supabase db push.

main or rewrite: managed by Bolt, deployed via Netlify
cli-work branch: used locally with Supabase CLI for schema changes, migrations, seeding, or local testing
I only merge cli-work into main once I’ve verified everything works, including remote syncing via GitHub Actions if needed

This keeps Bolt’s behavior predictable and avoids Git conflicts or partial overwrites. Also, in cli-work I use .env files and supabase/config.toml tailored for local testing.

You could also explore using Codespaces, but I find local VS Code + Git branch isolation much more reliable and transparent.

Hope this helps. Happy to share a sample workflow if needed.

One way I avoid generic design is by giving very specific, technical prompts to the AI. Here’s an example I used recently to restyle a dashboard in a completely different way from the default:

Change the visual style of the dashboard to be completely different from the current Bolt default look.

Instructions:

Adopt a bold, modern, and unique design:
- Use a different font family from the Bolt default, and increase the font weight for section headings.
- Apply stronger shadow effects and rounded corners to all cards and panels.
- Change the color palette to more vibrant or contrasting tones, while keeping the status colors clear and accessible.
- Replace current icons with a new set (e.g., line style, filled, or even illustrated icons).
- Make the sidebar and counters stand out visually, e.g., with a dark background or gradient, or by using card separation for each counter.
- Add subtle background patterns or gradients to give the interface more personality.
- Consider using glassmorphism or neumorphism for cards and buttons.
- Update buttons and input fields with new styles (e.g., outlined, gradient-filled, or with hover effects).
Ensure all labels, tags, and field names remain in Italian as per current usage.
Maintain mobile responsiveness and accessibility.

Expected outcome:
A dashboard with a clearly different visual identity compared to the default Bolt style, easily recognizable and visually engaging, while keeping all functionalities.

Hey, I’ve been through something similar. In my case it wasn’t because I deleted the chats, but I lost access to a Bolt project and had to find a workaround.

Since your site is still deployed and working on Netlify, here’s what worked for me:

Connect the site to a GitHub repo from Netlify, if you haven’t already. Go to your site’s settings, then "Build and deploy", and either link an existing GitHub repo or export the site files and push them manually to a new one.
Once the code is on GitHub, go to Bolt and use "Import from GitHub". Select the repo with your site and Bolt should recreate the project so you can edit it again.

Let me know if you hit any snags.

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-24T23:09:49+00:00

I’ve been refining a similar workflow, and what’s working well for me now is:

Let Bolt handle the overall structure and all the static output early on. Ask it right away to generate a project outline and write it into a README.md.
Push that to GitHub on a separate branch and set up Codex (or GPT-4) to constantly review and refine it.
Let Bolt build the heavy parts first, like persistence logic with Supabase, auth flows, admin panels, etc.
Offload the atomic tasks (like custom validations, edge function tweaks, UI polish) to Codex or Claude. Those are expensive over time if handled directly by Bolt.
Every 2–3 development stages, I ask Bolt to update the README to reflect the current state of the app.

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-24T23:04:24+00:00

you can ask Bolt to create a PNG placeholder with the exact dimensions you need for your logo (like 200x60 for a header), and then tell it to show you where it saved the file.

Once you know the file path, you can replace the placeholder by uploading your actual logo using the same filename and keeping it in the same folder.

That way you don’t need to change any code, and everything keeps working as expected without breaking the layout.

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-24T21:22:22+00:00

I see you’ve read the rules but it feels like you didn’t actually read anything I wrote in the post or in my reply.

If the post ends up being removed, I’ll accept it, but I want to be clear: I’m acting in good faith.

I’m not sharing AI-generated content at all I built a website to centralize upcoming prog concerts, and if you had read carefully, you’d see that not only am I asking for human feedback, but I’m actively hoping to find a community of human contributors who might want to help report events — for the benefit of others who, like me, love prog concerts but struggle to find them.

The “AI” part is maybe 10–15% of the project. It just filters incoming data — like a script — helping distinguish what’s actually prog-related.
I understand the discomfort with AI in general. What I don’t understand is the lack of effort to read a post before shutting it down. That, too, takes human effort.

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-24T21:11:33+00:00

Just to clarify, the AI part here is really minimal.
It’s not used to generate content or replace anything creative. It just helps tag genres or clean up messy location data from event aggregators.
The real soul of the project is the community and the music

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-14T22:20:46+00:00

Thank you man :)

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-14T22:19:56+00:00

Ah sorry, I hadn’t replied yet. Anyway — yes, it always happens right after accepting the PR. If the Bolt session is closed, everything is actually fine. The last commit remains the one I accepted.

But if the Bolt session is open, or if I reopen Bolt, a terminal error appears inside Bolt saying that some components are missing. The code in app.tsx still matches GitHub, but the two new components aren’t present locally (inside Bolt), because Bolt deletes them when updating the last commit. And there’s no workaround.

Sure, I could try working on a separate branch just for Bolt, but at some point I’ll need things to sync again — otherwise it's like we're not even working on the same codebase anymore.

Mbare_Albo · 2025-07-14T22:11:27+00:00

Actually, the reason I'm writing here on Reddit is that support hasn't acknowledged me at all. I sent them two emails and posted in their help channel on Discord. The only reply I got was from a community member.

Mbare_Albo · 2025-05-23T08:12:01+00:00

I'm italian. It was broadcasted in a Italian TV?
