Prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack Node.js applications from a browser tab: Bolt.diy is the official open-source version of Bolt.new's AI coding agent. Its foundation is StackBlitz's WebContainer technology - a sandboxed in-browser Node.js environment where the AI controls the whole stack: filesystem, npm, dev servers, terminal, and browser console. That means the agent does not just generate code; it installs dependencies, runs Vite or Next.js, reads errors, and fixes them. The defining difference from Bolt.new is model choice per prompt: 19+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Amazon Bedrock, and local models via Ollama or LMStudio, extensible through the Vercel AI SDK. Development ergonomics include live preview, a diff view of AI changes, codebase search, file locking to prevent generation conflicts, 15+ starter templates (React, Vue, Next.js, Astro, Svelte, Expo), and MCP support for external tools. Projects integrate with Git and Supabase, and deploy in one click to Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages.

Describe an app in one sentence and sandboxd, a self-hosted AI app builder, has a coding agent build it in an isolated sandbox and hand back a live preview URL. Start from a blank prompt, a React, Next.js, Express, or FastAPI starter, or an imported public Git repo. Refine it in one persistent chat beside Preview, Code, Terminal, and Git tabs. Pick OpenCode, Pi, or Claude Code. Point OpenCode or Pi at local or remote OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, LiteLLM gateways included. A proxy injects provider keys on the wire, so nothing secret lands in a sandbox. Did the agent get it wrong? Every task is checkpointed first, so one click reverts the turn. Snapshots, forks, and named versions keep known-good points to branch from. Edit files in the browser, review file-by-file diffs, commit, and push. Secrets are write-only and encrypted per app. Idle sandboxes sleep and wake on the next request. One modest server can host per-user previews, coding playgrounds, or an agent platform. The app library installs 80+ curated open-source apps, such as Ghost, n8n, Gitea, and Grafana, each in its own sandbox. Every console action is also a /v1 HTTP call with an OpenAPI spec. Upgrades back up the database, health-check the new version, and roll back on failure.

Spreadsheets and old Access databases give way to custom business apps that a team builds itself in a browser with Saltcorn, a no-code database application builder. Tables hold related records with typed and calculated fields, and CSV files import straight into them. Views start from patterns such as list, show, edit, filter, kanban, calendar, gantt, map, and chart, then take shape on a drag-and-drop canvas with a layers tree and desktop, tablet, and mobile previews. A view can embed another view, so clicking a row narrows the others and builds a cross-filtering dashboard with no glue code. Triggers react to row changes, schedules, logins, and API calls, while visual workflows branch, loop, and pause for a person's form before resuming days later. An AI copilot drafts tables, pages, and workflows from a plain-language prompt. The same views also become native Android and iOS apps with offline mode, PDF or image documents, and responsive emails. Every table, view, and page carries a minimum user role, and an auto-generated REST API exposes the data. Packs such as project management and an address book start an app from a ready template.

Admin panels, database GUIs, dashboards, approval flows, customer support consoles - Appsmith builds the internal tools your team keeps postponing, on an open-source low-code platform. The UI assembles from 45+ drag-and-drop widgets - tables with server-side pagination and inline editing, charts, forms, lists, buttons - which bind to data through {{ }} JavaScript expressions anywhere in the editor. Datasources cover PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MS SQL, Redis, Snowflake, and more, plus any REST or GraphQL API, with SaaS integrations and AI query support for prompt-based steps inside apps. When the widget library falls short, custom widgets are plain JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and external JS libraries can be imported, which keeps the platform extensible where pure no-code tools hit walls. Git-based version control enables branch-based collaboration, review, and rollback of app definitions. Queries and JS objects hold the business logic layer between datasources and UI. Self-hosted via Docker or Kubernetes, with role-based access control for published apps.

ILLA Builder turns internal tool development from weeks of custom frontend work into hours of drag-and-drop assembly, combining a visual canvas of 60+ UI components with direct connections to over 20 data sources. The TypeScript frontend, powered by ILLA Design, offers data grids backed by MUI X Data Grid Premium, charts, forms, rich-text editors, PDF viewers, QR code scanners, calendar widgets, map embeds, and video players. Each component supports Handlebars-style expression bindings that reference query results, widget state, or global variables, while the reactive execution tree resolves dependencies in topological order and re-evaluates downstream properties whenever upstream values change. Data connectors provide GUI-driven access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MSSQL, Supabase, Redis, Firebase, CouchDB, Airtable, Google Sheets, Stripe, AWS S3, Hugging Face models, and REST or GraphQL endpoints without writing connector code. Real-time collaboration through WebSocket lets multiple developers edit the same application simultaneously with live cursor tracking and synchronized Redux state. ILLA Flow adds workflow automation triggered by schedules or webhooks, chaining actions across data sources. The Go backend handles application state, resources, and attribute-based access control using PostgreSQL for persistence, Redis for caching, MinIO for file storage, and Envoy for API ingress. Deploys as a single Docker container on port 2022 or scales horizontally on Kubernetes.
