Bolt is the best ai agent by far ❤

[@BrockMesarich]

It’s definitely awesome!

[@mehmetnaciakkk3983]

I am choosing Bolt but with a twist because it is correct what you say. Bolt is for simpler tasks and Replit can go off and do things that complicatevthe project, which is a more serious problem in largerbprojects. So this is what I do: Use Claude Sonnet 3.5 or Cursor to define the project and divide it into simpler steps. Then use Bolt for each simple step, occasionally talking to Claude to get things fixed. That makes a very good development platform. And I am not doing a podcast generator, but developing a full blown database designed to be used as a RAG.

[@SeanBotha]

In bolt just click The magic wand I have to the text box. It adds ideas and enhances your question without any input. Doing it 3 or more times produces an amazing result

[@BrockMesarich]

Testing this out now! I didn’t know this was a feature!

[@CharlesFinneyAdventure]

I totally agree with all your points, yet I am sticking with replit and replit desktop because by fixing bugs I learn more and I think in the longer term it overachievement fail will be worked out and therfore will be a better collaborator.

[@BrockMesarich]

Good point!

[@XXAI-1]

I completely agree with your points. I believe that in the long term, overachievement failures will be resolved, and thus will become better collaborators.

[@BrockMesarich]

100% agree

[@juliamonahan530]

Love this honest and in depth tutorial

Glad you enjoyed Julia!

[@brian_akhtar]

here’s what i’m doing: boot for design, cursor for tiny code corrections, claude chat for other error corrections for an “outside opinion” lol, chatgpt when i out of credits for a few hours on claude chat. funny enough the first three are all claude sonnet just in dif forms lol but give dif answers

[@BrockMesarich]

It’s funny having to use all of the different platforms. Surely one of them is going to take over once it does everything the best!

[@brian_akhtar]

@@BrockMesarich ikr! also, someone should make it easier by talking w supabase or a backend company so instead of having to grab the project URLs and whatnot, it can automatically have the project set up via the backend company’s api. it’d make it even easier for non tech people to get going. i teach a class of hs entrepreneurs and what to teach them about this tech but feel it may go beyond the scope of the class

[@BrockMesarich]

@@brian_akhtar Would be awesome if you implemented these no code software platforms into your entrepreneurship class! Important skill to learn

[@mrhusi]

whats boot?

[@brian_akhtar]

@@mrhusi bolt.new, it was a typo

[@kiranmusudi]

Yea agree with the points mentioned for Replit especially when it tries too much and fails to do the core part and can't fix it by self. We have to feed the error returned by the console sometimes to make it work, lengthy process. BOLT was quick tried one app and was impressive but the functionality was not complete as the form submission didn't work. Anyways thanks for the wonderful comparison 😅

[@BrockMesarich]

Bolt should only get better. Just released a few weeks ago so they are definitely going to work out the kinks in the coming weeks

[@animatedinnovation]

Awesome work brother!! Thank you for your hard work

[@rogermarquez1314]

@@BrockMesarich which platform would you recommend if you´re a python developer? I am an SEO Consultant and I want to build scripts that scrapes and automate many tedious processes like data analysis.

[@BrockMesarich]

To be completely honest, I do not have the answer to this question. I do not know how to code so I couldn’t give you a right answer!

[@joelscheuner5759]

Stick to replit when it comes to python. But I advise you don’t use only one tool, different tasks need different applications✨

[@gridchen5452]

​@@joelscheuner5759 Thanks for the advice on sticking to Replit for Python. I completely agree with your point about not relying on just one tool, as different tasks indeed require different applications. Could you please elaborate on your perspective regarding the use of various applications for different tasks? I would appreciate it if you could share some best practices or examples to help me understand this better. Thanks again for your valuable insights.

[@joelscheuner5759]

@@gridchen5452 Hey, sure I can help! When it comes to tools like these, there's no definitive "best practice" since they’re constantly evolving. However, when I start a new project, the first thing I do is lay out exactly what I want to build. In my opinion, this is the most important-and often the hardest-part that many overlook. I write down the features I want to include (both current and future), and if I already know the tech stack, great; if not, I don’t worry about it at that point. For this initial phase, I usually get help from AI tools. I start with specific GPT agents in ChatGPT (you can find them in the store) or sometimes use Claude. Typically, I begin with ChatGPT to structure everything and get suggestions for a tech stack. Once I’m happy with that, I move the conversation to Claude to create a tech stack diagram, showing how everything is connected, and explain the role of each software component. Then, I ask Claude to generate prompts for building each page, focusing on both UI and UX (User Experience is crucial). I paste these into my V0 environment, where I fine-tune the look and feel. And Replit is great for coding because it integrates easily with services like Vercel, Cursor, and Visual Studio Code, and it gives me a ready-to-go app where I can instantly test changes. From there, I use ChatGPT to troubleshoot errors, and Claude for project management, new ideas, coding guidelines, and feature development. I open a new chat for each feature or page in a Claude project, which helps keep things organized. Replit works particularly well with Python, as it's designed with Python in mind. While the coding assistant struggles with Next.js, it works flawlessly with Python right out of the box. I often pair it with tools like VSC or Cursor, using SSH to sync them up. As for Bolt, I’m not a fan-it’s slow and inconsistent for now, in my experience. I always test new tools if they fit in this ecosystem, if i can use each tool for what they are best at, if it's difficult to get things from one application to another, or it tries to do everything but just not good, then it's no fit for me. Hope that gives you some insight! Feel free to ask for my Discord if you want to chat more.

[@BrockMesarich]

thank you for the insights

Paid for replit, stopped using it, tried bolt, paid for it, cancelled replit subscription...

[@BrockMesarich]

So you like Bolt more?

[@ivilleinc5949]

@@BrockMesarich i'd prefer bolt though it also lacks, its good as a starting point, but when you get so technical, then more debugging, so for production I'll still use a combination of claude 3.5, chatgpt 01, and ideogram, then bolt for my small projects I don't have time to do, that don't require a heavy backend or complex logic. replit leads to too much debugging, making you feel you could have done It faster with claude, and its limited, I use frameworks for UI, not HTML and flask ?

100% agree

[@pdspnewcastle9601]

I bought a whole year's subscription of Replit Agent and all I can say is it's infuriating to work with. You try to fix an error and it breaks something else in the process. And just when you are getting somewhere, they cut you off with maximum usage limit and you have to wait 3 hours to continue. Maybe I should have gone with Bolt.new instead. I hope it gets better over time because I'm starting to think I pissed all that money down the drain.

[@BrockMesarich]

Have you tried out Bolt.new yet? I would give it a try on the free plan if you havent!

Why do these gurus always do a tutorial on a new tool, it’s a shame they do tutorials on podcast generators, nots taking apps some really simple apps, we don’t need that you can do that any many platforms even open sauces. I dare you to make tutorials on an e-commerce app.😂 you can’t
