Hi man, Just came across your video and it's constructive. I have a question: Can we use bolt new to create a carpooling app?

[@BrockMesarich]

Yes you can for the front end. You would most likely need to finish it on a platform like Cursor

[@jeandavidabeelack]

@@BrockMesarich thanks for the tip!

Typically people want a light mode in the dark mode, however if you want to get crazy then you can do stuff like I have glass buttons or glossy reflective surfaces with ambient colors and do neon. But all kind of depends on the customer. Having a light mode in the dark mode in most apps is a must. It is pretty simple to make some really cool buttons with AI and since PicLumen is free, you don't have to be an expert graphic designer to be able to create something cool. Why is this app when there's so many other ones out there?

[@BrockMesarich]

It’s extremely easy to add a dark mode. Just ask “add a dark mode”

[@francisariga965]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while and I think they are really helpful,you even encouraged me to build my own software. My question is could you make a video showing how to make an admin section for your app built on bolt where you can manage everything in the app and also how to hide the admin section from other users such that only you can access it.

[@BrockMesarich]

Yes i can do this. You would need to use Supabase which I can show how to integrate!

[@cyrilvonwillingh5523]

Just ask bolt to do it for you as you described now. "I want you to add an admin section which only I can access. Maybe. A button in the lower right corner" you can even describe the button or ask it to create a shortcut.

[@BrockMesarich]

Im not sure it would be that simple because you need to setup a database with Supabase

You and Liam Ottley have been my icons in AI automation that I'm considering dabbling in the AAA space but I have little technical skill, how much more work do I need to do to have an advantage over a technically skilled person in starting an agency?

[@BrockMesarich]

Thank you for the kind words brother! Honestly at this point being non technical isn’t an excuse. These platforms are getting so good that they can do some really amazing things.

[@DirectorMartian]

@BrockMesarich Got it, I'll get to work. Hopefully it all works out and I can one day serve the community like you, Liam and the rest are. Thanks Brock!

[@BrockMesarich]

@@DirectorMartian Good luck!

[@DemocracyDecoded]

I have to ask, what are your bolt.new settings? You know what LLM are you using? Anything specific you change to your liking?

[@BrockMesarich]

I don't have any custom setting son. I believe they just use Claude 3.5 Sonnet

[@DemocracyDecoded]

@BrockMesarich ok thank youuuuu 😀

[@BrockMesarich]

@DemocracyDecoded of course!

[@drewsaga6533]

sorry I new to this AI, I try to build an app with this AI, but all I got in preview is the NativeScript and QR code, I download the APP NativeScript Preview but I still can't see the app I want AI to build. What should I do?

[@BrockMesarich]

i would take a screenshot and tell bolt that you are running into that issue. Should self correct!

[@RS-uv4uz]

nope, nativescript preview only works with a computer connected. only than you can 'preview' on your phone

[@ChristopherShawnPike]

Great idea…. I have been playing around with bolt for a couple days…. Yah it’s tough to get exactly what you want… I build semi functional excel prototype with vba and try to explain to bolt. Still working on it for sure…/ so much to learn. If it’s an app you never want to take to market but want to use it to make your life easier… is it expensive just to refine it and get it working for a customer?

[@BrockMesarich]

Bolt is pretty crazy! This depends on the plan you pay for but $50 / month plan really goes far unless you are working on tons of different apps

[@atlastube]

how to download it in .exe ? no "comepile" in .exe ? and deploy that may be mean its open source for every one in the web ?! and can we put aa lot of themptlate of 3 pages of app i create it my self wih icones and logo ?

[@BrockMesarich]

I’m not sure what you are asking

[@6pacpac]

nu brother , tou cant download in formal .exe to run , bolt export into web app, after deploi you can config into notfify and make it public in web with a subdomain, you cand change domain after if you want , after deploi you have a link to connect not first one who you have to preview, and you can compile using web application to exe , if you want to do in .exe you know if you need more exp just told me

[@menidi2008]

Any tips to manage tge excessive token usage?

[@BrockMesarich]

You can turn it to chat only mode to maybe help troubleshoot without writing the code. This should help

[@isatubaldeh3117]

does Built.new create native apps?

[@BrockMesarich]

i do not believe so

Is it just creating layouts. How can i deploy and upload to websites

[@BrockMesarich]

take a look at my other videos. I show you how to add backends

[@slavicstories2287]

What if I use local version bolt? There is no feature to paste screenshot

[@BrockMesarich]

What do you mean local version bolt?

[@slavicstories2287]

@BrockMesarich i mean local version from github. There is website and local version that you can find on github

[@NutbreakerDeez]

@@BrockMesarichhe ment, it’s an open source. Have it on his own computer (run it locally)

[@BrockMesarich]

oh gotcha. I do not know if there is a solution if you are using it locally then

[@BrockMesarich]

Got it thank you for clarifying!

[@DirectorMartian]

What if I want to link my app to, let's say AWS services? And are all your team members in the Bolt agency nontechnical?

[@BrockMesarich]

You can definitely do that! I will hopefully be having a video going over how to do so shortly. As for my team members, we have a few that are non technical but others who know basic dev skills with Cursor

[@DirectorMartian]

@BrockMesarich Perfect. I'll be waiting.

[@BrockMesarich]

💪🏼

[@thomasfischinger7720]

Thank you for the amazing videos! You’ve talked several times about building apps and turning them into a business. I think it would be fantastic if you made a video showing how to create a homepage and integrate different small apps-either for SaaS purposes or with advertising. Thanks again for the great content!

[@BrockMesarich]

This is coming in the very near future along with a full Bolt course!

So the hack is to inspire Bolt with existing design? That's all? /Thanks for sharing, I truly appreciate it.

[@BrockMesarich]

Yep, that's it!

[@architguptaarchitgupta]

Very informative video. Can you try to make a app for making basic app like employee management, or split wise or other day to day apps. That will help a lot.

[@BrockMesarich]

Glad you got some value from it. Have you tried it out?

[@elficy3458]

Possible to build a nextjs progressive web app and host to aws amplify maybe? Using this ai

[@BrockMesarich]

honestly that i s over my head. I do not have a developer background

[@ActionFalko]

The question is though how would it look like on a mobile device? It often throws it off.

[@BrockMesarich]

you can edit the mobile app interface easily inside of bolt. Then you can search for mobile templates on Dribbble

[@sahilkhalifa6782]

Can you please make video on supabase databases tutorial with user authentication and other think like i want directly listing site with 3 user 1. Normal User 2. Listing owner 3. Main site owner (Super admin) Please can you make video on it?

[@yaruuzumaki]

is bolt better than figma

[@BrockMesarich]

Depends on what you want to build. If Bolt integrates Figma then it’s game over

[@yaruuzumaki]

@BrockMesarich i want to build a DAW app

[@Apparelphernalia]

The worst part about it is that they charge you money for the AI to make mistakes, delete stuff you want to keep, create stuff on its own without your permission and then they charge you more money to correct its mistakes that are almost never corrected on the first attempt it makes. It’s marked as a no code alternative but is it really With the amount of mistakes it makes and the double charging for every other task because it writes code filled with errors the first time around.

[@sahilkuthe3882]

Can this build mobile apps?

Yes it can

[@mrspowerwash5690]

@@BrockMesarich it can build mobile apps that can be put on play store etc? if so how?

[@Mr-33rd]

have you noticed that since bolt and replit both went to the token model, i feel there are more errors now that must be fixed. maybe a coincidence, but its very suspicious

[@BrockMesarich]

To be honest i have not seen this issue. Interesting idea however if that is true!

[@Mr-33rd]

@@BrockMesarich yeah. Keep an eye out. Or maybe it is because I'm trying to build a more complex app than a standard one pager. That could be it too. 🤔. Now that I think about it

[@BrockMesarich]

@Mr-33rd definitely is probably the later. The more complex an app, the more errors you will run into for sure

[@Larimuss]

This is basically where it’s at. Good at making UI, rough guides, templates and helping fix bugs. It can’t make full apps with database etc.

[@BrockMesarich]

interesting point! Have you tried to integrate it with Supabase in order to add a database?

[@Boxtermaiti]

It can easily create a fully functional web app if you connect it to a database like firebase or supabase.

[@GregoryCampbellSwag]

Awesome stuff , now how do you actually make it so that once people buy, they can create an account and login, and also so that their data is saved in their account?

falta o backend q trata da persistência e armazenamento de dados, nesse caso funciona pq os dados ficam em cache

[@BrockMesarich]

Making it functional with bolt is definitely to difficult part. Depending on how complex you may need to use something like Cursor

[@BrockMesarich]

Great insight!

[@ModernXMade83]

Stop stealing smh. Dribbble is for UX UI designers to showcase their work. Those aren’t templates lolol you’re literally just taking someone else’s ideas and copying it and making it as if you created it. And the reason why your timer numbers were fitting correctly is because you didn’t describe the pixel measurements

[@Gustoking37]

So dribble is completely unique and the designers there haven’t stole ideas from somewhere else ? Picasso once said ‘ good artists borrow, great artists steal’ !

[@timooothy1234]

Everyone who comes to dribble look for design inspiration, you just mad that AI can do the same

[@BrockMesarich]

I do agree that lots of people go to dribbble just to get design ideas

[@BrockMesarich]

Good point!

[@YusufEbr]

Welcome to the world of design. Someone else's designs inspire. That's why Bolt added the function
