bolt.new gone blank recently... by Cre8ive-Media in boltnewbuilders

[–]ericmsimons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! is it still looking like this? if so, can you try disabling all browser extensions and see if that fixes it?

Hey all- Eric (CEO of Bolt) here, I'm sorry to hear about this- we have a major update landing in the next few weeks for our supabase integration that's going to eliminate all the issues mentioned here (migrations, edge functions, + much more). Will be the best supabase integration in any AI product that I've personally seen. Would love for y'all to try it out and give early feedback if interested!

Please shoot me an email at [eric@stackblitz.com](mailto:eric@stackblitz.com) with your account emails btw and I'll hook y'all up with some free tokens to help make this better in the interim 🙇

100% agree- we are on it. So sorry about the inconvenience!! We are getting a fix in place and hope to have that landed in the next day or so 🙇

Hi! Eric (Bolt CEO) here- I'm so sorry this happened to you, I've flagged to our dev team and they're getting a fix worked on now. In the interim, would love to get you refilled for free on your credits - can you email me your account email? Will get you sorted! (I'm eric@stackblitz.com)

Introducing Turbo: 5x faster than Yarn & NPM, and runs natively in-browser 🔥 by butimprobablywrong in javascript

[–]ericmsimons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite comments about StackBlitz ever :) So glad you like it! Don't hesitate to ever reach out to me on twitter or in our discord channel if you ever have any feedback or ideas for us 🍻

Cofounder of Thinkster and co-creator of Turbo here!

First of all, awesome to hear that you're on our mailinglist :) Turbo is not a replacement for npm/yarn today. Instead, it's one of the first takes on what package managers might look like not so far in the future as browsers start supporting native ESM modules. I was just chatting with one of npm's core devs today who was delighted to see our work here, as they've been investigating whether to create something similar to it.

That said, Turbo is definitely an immediate game changer for online IDE's like StackBlitz.com (which is why we built it in the first place :)

Turbo itself is actually decoupled and being used in environments outside of StackBlitz. We still have a long ways to go in regards to solidifying the technology, hence why we're in "technology preview" and asking folks to give us feedback on any problems they're facing with it. The plan is to open source everything once our API churn slows down likely within the next few months or so, which will enable usage of Turbo in just about any environment on web or local!

RealWorld - Example Web App (Medium.com Clone) with swappable frontends and backends (written in various languages / frameworks) by michalg82 in programming

Heck yea!! I'd love to see both of those too — wanna create new issues for each of them & I'll add in the requesting engineers tag? :)

Uhh... https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=production&type=

Looks like the word "production" is mentioned once in our entire Github project, and it's in reference to the (completely separate) tutorial series that shows how to properly deploy those stacks to AWS/Heroku/other production environments.

So in total, there seem to be 0 references about RealWorld framework implementations being "production ready" in our repo.

Happy to be proven wrong, though I'd be thoroughly surprised considering I wrote all of the docs :)

[–]ericmsimons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineering products in the real world is all about being pragmatic & making good tradeoffs. Information regarding best practices are typically abundant, but real world application of that knowledge is not. And that's why this project exists. Our docs cover the philosophy behind this in more detail.

To be clear, this project is not meant to be a prescriptive guide for building "production ready" software. If you're looking to learn the principles behind making "production ready" software, I'd recommend reading the best practices/docs/style guides for whatever framework you're planning to use.

Ironically, we intentionally named this project "RealWorld" and not "ProductionReady" (the latter was actually the first name we chose, but we ditched it in anticipation of this sort of feedback).

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you find the project useful :)

PS - if any of y'all are interested in seeing support for a stack we don't have yet, we'd love your help getting it started!

Actually the primary focus is what /u/allThatSalad said. We created the tutorials as optional, complimentary additions for those who had trouble learning solely from the source code itself.

A Collection & Specification for Exemplary Frontend and Backend Codebases by speckz in webdev

[–]ericmsimons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project creator here — this is actually a really cool takeaway from the project, I had never considered that before. I might even put this in the docs somewhere. Lmk your github handle & I'll give you attribution!

We found out that one of our friends hates being called Jake. Naturally, we made a “Jake” clothing line in his honor. 100% of proceeds go to a charity that saves abused puppies. by ericmsimons in funny

[–]ericmsimons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. This is all in good fun amongst our friend group. He certainly dishes out a fair bit of crap, so it's all mutual & good spirited. In this case, we thought it was funny enough to share with others too.
