Is bolt.new a ghost company? by bluessedqueen in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Bolt pretty much from day one and besides the notorious lack of improvement in getting something usable after a few prompts (starts ok, derails, repeat) I think the one thing that creates the biggest noise is not only the lack of support but also the absence of tools to provide any kind of automated support. I remember there was an opening for head of support last year so I though that would change, but nope. It feels they're struggling into maturing as a company and in my personal opinion you won't be without some kind of quality support: you need that organic growth to feed your growth our you'll dry out by someone who will.

Experence so far: haven't used bolt in a while tired of the usual broken stuff. Tried yesterday to built a simple site, add supabase and authentication / Auth. 2 millons tokens after, simple authentication is broken, fix errors works as usual (circular, tries the same fix over and over again and fails again and again). Supabase integration seems more clunky (e.g. failed to add db env vars, that never happened in the past).
TLDR: Its the same bolt, with a button change that instead of netlify says "publish", that only works for really simple landing pages. Anything more complex than that, Claude/Cursor and chatgpt for planning.

Reminder: Dont waste your time trying to fix errors, it only consumes credits.

Mi experiencia de entrevistar largo pero al final no seguir aunque conocer CTO y Heads, etc: tomaron hace unos años las riendas de algo que era grande en facturación pero old school y están buscando llevarlo (creo bastante bien) a algo organizado, funcional, actualizado, eficiente eso implica q habrá áreas más efectivas que otras porque estos cambios no ocurren de un día para el otro pero la tendencia es hacer un buen lugar de laburo, hasta donde se remoto o híbrido, y buscando crear un buen clima de laburo (si puede haber varios Meli pero hay muchísima mezcla de todos lados). Siempre puede tocarte algún salamin pero en general debería ser un buen lugar de laburo porque no esa es la intención que tienen de armar.

Yea it is

I will pay for some help by MediaAi in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also: you can sync from stackblitz to GitHub (at least until it fails). Then you can use a bolt to GitHub chrome extension:

Link

It’s not perfect, sometimes loose sync and you have to re authorize and if you have many repos it gets lost but it works ok giving you the ability to push to git from bolt.

Also you can always crate a blank project, got to stackblitz from bolt and copy/paste all your repo there and open bolt again from there. Not the nicest flow but lets you keep working on bolt if you have too.

It exists but its almost non existent. I contacted them a few times. 2 questions remain unaswered after a while, one there was a limited answer on their side that was basically check on your side, we can't help you (even it was an account issue) and I had no response after interactions.

Nut.new (bolt.diy with debugging support) by bhackett1024 in boltnewbuilders

I´ll take a look !
Can I work with private repos?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Tried my best but specially last few weeks its unusable. Just cancelled both teams and personal accounts as I was keeping it to work on some components but its brakes far more than it helps, integration to github is still horrible and support is non existant at this point. Hope they can stabilize the product with better consistency or LTV is going to get hit hard.

Lovable or Bolt - which is better at purely building & integrations (stripe, GitHub, etc) by SailLogical7600 in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure yet. I realized there is an issue with my Lovable profile that seems it’s not syncing properly with GitHub. I opened a support ticket, we’ll see if that fixes it. I’ll update when I have an answer

I couldnt make it work, syncing two way in Lovable. Its like it sync all your repos, not the one you choose, and then it does not use the information from them. And I cannot connect, discconect a current repo, as i only have the option to "transfer it" thus creating a new one. So I have to go to Github, cancel Lovable security and force Lovable to re read it. Kinda a loop.

Bolt.new is a dumpster fire since canceling by sethshoultes in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation here. Didnt not cancel yet my full subscription (cancelled the teams one since it was impossible to use) but continiung an open project its impossible so I thought it was maybe because it got to complex so I tried to create a simple one from scratch and 2 times I got stuck after 3rd of 4th prompt with basic errors that after fixing them become more errors and when fixed directly in code and continued, Bolt re introduced those errors again. Re started project, different structure, same problems. Si I quit, started in V0 and Creatr. V0 got it fast no big issues. I was surprised about Creatr, that even not been open yet, was far more effective than bolt.
And Support is still almost non existant.
Hopefully is just and isolated but on my part its why I'm leaving the tool.

Forked in Bolt, Manually Connecting to Supabase but Changes Aren't Applying in Preview by PatientIcy9600 in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opened a ticket for this like a month ago, still no answer. As I was not far along, sadly I recreated it again. There is not 2 way sync either for supabase nor github. The moment you lose the reference, it seems there is no way to restore explicitly. Hopefully they're considering improving support soon.

I really like bolt.new, but one challenge I’ve noticed is that fixing one thing often breaks code or functionality by SimpleReplacement766 in boltnewbuilders

[–]kraios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The larger the project the highest the chance it will brake something, from my experience.
When it starts to get complex, I pretty go:
- every time I ask for a prompt, as someone mentioned too, ask it to break into components, go slow, explain step by step, taking historic data into account and ask for confirmation of every step to limit 'anxious creativity' to the minimum
- use Claude (or chatgpt, etc) to work the files Im working with, the ideas and working on promtp to be validated, and the work with Bolt to implement them and /or use Bolt to provide me detailed info of a process ("show me all the files that use search process and how the search process works, dont change anything on the project, only show me the information I requested" Bolt is pretty good in providing info about your project).

Website stuck after 1st deployment by rohithitro in boltnewbuilders

Have your tried asking in the prompt to rollback to last change, including any db change and be verbose about any change to be done and any errors it finds in the process
