Standout
Bolt WebContainer technology — full Node.js dev environment in the browser tab, instant preview, no sandbox provisioning.
v0 First-pass design quality that looks intentional, not generated. Tab autocomplete-quality for full components.
Known weakness
Bolt Browser-runtime constraints. Production deploys less polished than alternatives. Per-user team tokens create surprise costs.
v0 No backend / database / auth. Vercel-stack lock-in. Iteration cost grows past first-pass.
