HUGE SHOUTOUT to both the maintainer team for Bolt.diy (Chris, Eduard, Dustin, Anirban, Ed, Oliver, and Steven) and the StackBlitz team (Eric, Alex, Matias, Ari, and Kate) for making this all happen. You all are killing it! And shoutout to the entire community as well because without all of your contributions Bolt.diy wouldn't be even close to what it is right now! Join the Bolt.diy community over in the oTTomator Think Tank! thinktank.ottomator.ai/ Come join me in the StackBlitz office hours today at 1:00 PM CST!! th-cam.com/video/xlbKobsqfdc/w-d-xo.html
Above all, praise and thumbs up for Stackblitz, which other tech companies can certainly take as an example. Instead of against each other, work together and find a way where both sides can benefit. Especially with regard to those who cannot afford dozens of subscriptions, just want to try it out or only use it privately. I'm excited to see how both versions will develop.
Yeah they definitely deserve a lot of praise for their focus on open source and what they are doing with this partnership! It's an honor to work with them on Bolt.diy!
Why do I feel that Eric of bolt.new found ottodev threatening to bolt.new looking at the rate different seasoned developers are making contributions to the open source, so he (Eric) had to initiate the partnership. Cole please dont shift away from your main vision for this fork. Youve inspired many of us with little or no coding experience to follow up on the trends of AI. Thank you for all you do.
You know when he first reached out I thought it was a possibility, but more of their motivation is that their open source repo had no action, they didn't have capacity to invest in it, and people wanted them to. So this partnership is the way for them to continue that and we get to reap the benefits as a community with it being the official open source Bolt.new! I have absolutely no plans to shift away from my vision for the fork! We still have complete creative freedom as a community, it will remain 100% open source, and our roadmap will stay the same and evolve as planned!
@@ColeMedin But do you own the repository? You lost your branding. This move is exactly what I would do if I had someone I wanted to shut down. Play nice, get ownership, and then use levers of control to shift things where I want it to go. Sorry to be another skeptical voice, just looking out for you all by asking tough questions. Cheers.
@@rhadiem Yeah I appreciate you asking the hard questions! This is something I wrestled with a lot with my team and the maintainers of Bolt.diy. I do still own the repository as an admin though yes it is in the StackBlitz org instead of my personal GitHub account now. But to me it's about the success of the project and the community and not me owning it. The branding to me is only going to get stronger for everyone with the official stamp of approval from StackBlitz instead of them just partnering with another fork and making it the official one. I would definitely agree with you more if it wasn't for the fact that I've had a lot of conversations with the StackBlitz team and I really see their heart for open source and their permission for us to keep with the same level of creative freedom we have been taking! I hope that helps!
Not a huge fan of Stackblitz. They ripped a bunch of people off when they first introduced Bolt.new and took money from people when nothing worked. I don't want to deal with them and probably won't. Got to be a suspicious here. I appreciate the work, but this doesn't seem cool.
Just to mention, Ottodev does not remove an ld files from project. For example, if it is LLM related or ottodev :) Keep up the brilliant work!! Love it so far, absolute love it!
Congrats! You are a true project manager. While other open source dev projects carried out by indies die, you kept the breath in the ottodev project, especially with the roadmap of features that kept encouraging developers to contribute. Thanks a lot for your hardwork and dedication
Dude congratulations!!!! I've been following the since the inception, and it must feel so good getting recognized and moving on to bigger and better things. With all due respect though how do you make money? It seems like you're putting your blood sweat and tears into this. If I may suggest adding ads on the interface. Obviously no one likes ads, but it can be a toggle on the interface that says help support. So by default it's off, but if the users would like to support, they can turn it on and help fund the amazing team. Just a thought. Many blessings.
Congrats! The main reason i haven't downloaded ottodev yet is that some of the features from Bolt weren't passed down to the open source version and I've been working with Windsurf on my desktop app.
Cole, this is not heading down the commercial road. Is it? Since day one I have been pushing people to oTToDev. I understand and personally like the choice, but people are fickle.
I’m disappointed to see this development. While the announcement paints a picture of collaboration and commitment to open source, the reality feels different. Partnering exclusively with Bolt and merging oTToDev back into the StackBlitz GitHub organization seems like a move to consolidate control over open-source progress rather than fostering true innovation and openness. Open source thrives on diversity and decentralization, and this partnership risks undermining that. It’s frustrating to see a promising fork with great community engagement being absorbed back into the original ecosystem, potentially stifling its independent growth. This feels less like doubling down on open source and more like monopolizing it. A disappointing turn of events for those of us who value true openness in the tech community!
I really appreciate your concern, and these are definitely things I had to wrestle with with my maintainer team, my oTTomator team, and StackBlitz. I would agree with you more if it wasn't for the fact that StackBlitz has really gained my trust with their focus on open source and fostering that so I'm not worried about ownership issues, losing branding, losing our creative freedom, etc. I've had a lot of conversations with them so I really see their heart behind it! If I really believed it would be a consolidation over power or monopolizing, I wouldn't have gone through with the partnership, but I do get your concern especially since you haven't gotten to talk to the StackBlitz team like I have :)
Yea... I see this as a 'keep your friends close and enemies closer' move. With this move, bolt.new will have firsthand info on what the ottodev community is up to and be able to come up with strategies that the open source version would have undermined the commercial one. This is similar to how wp engine could fork WordPress and made matt frustrated because of wp engines' advancement with WordPress. Absorbing the repo automatically has signaled that they don't mean well. I admire the pure heartedness of Cole but down the line, I see a hostile takeover. But, enough of the skepticism and keeping our fingers crossed, hoping it all plays out well
@@robfinito4671 Definitely getting gaslit/ Stockholm syndrome feels from this but only time will tell. At least he can say he tried to play nice and will get a valuable life lesson.
Congratulations on this archivement. Since you are so open it might be interesting to point out the business model that allows to fund your amazing work. Would love to see you continue the great job without struggling. Is there any plans for integrating it into vscode. I really enjoy my current setup where I'm able to go in and fix without prompting. (Currently using cursor but would like it not to be a fork of vscode)
Thank you very much! The business model is something I'm still developing, more on the oTTomator platform coming soon but my goal and full intention is to continue to provide an insane amount of free value so people like you continue to ask how I'm able to do all of this :) We have thought about a VSCode integration a bit but it would be difficult... Bolt.new and Bolt.diy is certainly meant to be in the browser. It is in the plans to dive into this though!
This is a good work to improve bolt to open source🎉 And I hope to see the open hands it is an open source like bolt and if you impove it or take some idea from it
Congrats Cole! Knew this was on the "maybe"/"possibly" horizon. Everything with oTToDev just moved SO FAST! I just discovered your version, first open source AI IDE I installed locally. Running it with an open source model (Qwen 2.5 32B Coder; via API but cheeeaaap) made me feel unstoppable.
That's the colest news so far! Thanks so much for pushing. I have been working in the last 2 months to take a lot more client calls to actually find out what to apply these tools to. I know I can build anything, but what do people need? Now I have much more clarity on that and I am so happy that you were advancing ottodev for people like me to use. Much love and prosperity, AWESOME WORK!
I haven't had time to watch the full thing, but did you essentially get bought out by corporate? If so, that sucks. If it's just corporate Bolt helping out and providing resources then that's cool
Hot take - they gave ownership back to the devs they forked from and were promised cooperation and "idea sharing" in return for adult recognition of their hard work.
@@ThrowbackGaming1 On the plus side, they can always play the reversi card and go their own way again... after giving all the new features to the .new team. I hope I'm wrong, but I've been in enough small companies and gaming guilds to recognize most leaders/owners are covert narccists who will gaslight you to get what they want. Worst case, someone else will take up the ball and run their own fork with better branding. A bad rep could kill .new as well. It's on them to prove they are worth Cole's trust.
It is definitely the latter! There were no financial incentives for this so it really is keeping the true ethos of open source. And after many conversations with StackBlitz I can truly say they have the right heart behind it and they aren't just trying to suck oTToDev back into their ecosystem! It was definitely a concern at first though, so trust me I've thought through it all too!
Hmm I have added api keys in a .env.local but when I run it with pnpm run preview, it says I need to enable providers under settings? and open ai like is not available there for example? am I running the wrong command?
I tried pnpm run dev as well but it also ask me to select providers and openai like or ollama is not showing up as options. why when I have created an .env.local file?
Does any of these tools know how to check the latest online documentation of the library or framework that's being used, for example you're writing latest AWS apis scripts or telegram API bot, but unless the AI copilot will go double check that his edit matching latest spec and schema etc' it'll write wrong methods, calls, params.... Do you know of anyone working on a grounding tool or agent that'll do that kind of verification for every autocomplete or output of the coding AI?
I haven't used either product, so I could be way off base here, but it feels like you've got the more successful version of the project and the Bolt team figured out a way to benefit from that by having you re-brand to their naming convention. I suspect they own "Bolt" as well as a trademark/etc. I hope your community devs are ok with this change and it's a mutual benefit to both sides, not just Bolt.new who seem to have been left in the dust. Who owns bolt.diy domain? If you have differing visions in the future, or .New wants to hamstring the fork team in some way, can you go your own way? You're losing brand awareness you've been building as well. You're young so I get you lean towards optimism, and I hope everyone is super successful in this, just some thoughts that have me wondering about some pitfalls I see that could happen. Cheers, and congrats on your success.
@@RDraps Yep, this is more about the ownership of the project long-term and the direction/etc. You're right anyone can fork and do whatever with the code.
I really appreciate your concern, and these are definitely things I had to wrestle with with my maintainer team, my oTTomator team, and StackBlitz. I would agree with you more if it wasn't for the fact that StackBlitz has really gained my trust with their focus on open source and fostering that so I'm not worried about ownership issues, losing branding, losing our creative freedom, etc. I've had a lot of conversations with them so I really see their heart behind it! As @RDraps said, since the project is open source regardless of the partnership, a lot of these concerns would apply no matter if we partnered or not. And actually if we didn't partner, then StackBlitz would be forced to find another way to foster their open source version and that could have left oTToDev behind.
No financial incentive here - I am truly sticking to the ethos of open source! This is a true and honest partnership to take open source AI coding assistants to the next level!
Yeah there are still some things to work out with Docker given all the different setup/configuration possibilities. What is the specific error you are running into right now?
@ColeMedin connection refussed/error. In LM studio it looks like no request was sent. Only thing that works is the request for available models. Any chat feature gets these error
I like this ottodev / diy, I was wondering if you can help me? When I use Claude api key and ask it to make an app, it doesn’t create my app like yours do in you videos. Ik creates an app folder and a src with an app folder inside there too.. not working at all for me unfortunately. Have not yet made any prompt work to get an app build… please help
I cant wait to try this when entire project is completed, currently deploy feature, perplexity and background agents is not implemented i will wait to use entire project Hearty congratulations to cole medin for this success, you really deserve this for making use of your influence for betterment of open source keep up good work
Its already is. This guy is just super picky. Bolts had a deploy feature for a long time now. Dont listen to him. just build your website. Its beyond that
well im so happy buddy, great things gonna happen, i just ran Bolt today on collab using free apis of all llama models , and i just know very little about coding. yet i made a webisite that is live and i am happy to make more out of it. thimgs that i need the most i just build them by myself, i can see AI is My Life now :D
Thank you very much! We certainly want to start integration with other services like Supabase in the future! First though we have some other core features we want to knock out like a prompt library (different prompts for different LLMs), diffs, etc.
@@ColeMedin Your diligent efforts on this impactful project are sincerely appreciated. I'm confident your significant contributions will pave the way for your success.
insert Bogdanoff meme here: He sold! hahaha :))) good move by bolt parent, they've noticed they re getting smacked and bought them :)) gj interesting one. happy to continue using both and watch where it goes
I actually didn't sell out for this! Too be honest in my mind that would go against the ethos of open source, so this is just a true open source partnership! And also I'll still be the primary maintainer and driver of the community :)
Just want to highlight how your effort has impacted some1. I'm 40, never coded in my life and bcuz of all the hard work from you and the others helping, I made a chrome extension myself. I'm blown away. Your opening doors for ppl of all ages. THANK YOU
Congrats! I was wondering if bolt.diy will pull features from the current bolt.new from time to time, because bolt.new still has some things that bolt.diy doesn’t have yet? Would love to use the best of both worlds!
This is where I don't understand the synergies between open source and commercial platforms. Why would bolt.new just give away features that they have developed to an open source version for free? This sounds like a huge win for OttoDev and a loss for bolt.new as I don't see how this benefits them at all? How is it a benefit to a company that has to make money to pay staff etc that there is a free open source version of their product that might even get better?
Congrats mate. Started playing with this tool today, but my computer is a potato when it comes to AI models. Hope to upgrade and being able to run my own server soon.
Thank you! Sounds good - you can always use a provider like OpenRouter too if you want to play around with a bunch of different LLMs without having to run them yourself! But yeah running them yourself is awesome, good luck with your new setup!
bro you dont need highfi comp power for this just run my google collab, totally online, even on your mobile phone, just email me i ll share collab link. :) hope this helps.

You absolutely crushed it!!! CONGRATS!!
Thank you very much! :D
@@ColeMedin ur welcome! Though we should thank you! hehehe
Congratulations!!! Awesome!!! 🚀
please try to fix cookies issue with the preview it is preventing me from building anything useful
Please up this
well im so happy buddy, great things gonna happen, i just ran Bolt today on collab using free apis of all llama models , and i just know very little about coding. yet i made a webisite that is live and i am happy to make more out of it. thimgs that i need the most i just build them by myself, i can see AI is My Life now :D
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad you're finding success with it! AI is my life too haha
@@ColeMedin haha knew already, bdw chk my webs!te its called textlensai :)
Thanks a lot! it is AMAZING!
is there any plan for supabase integration?
Thank you very much!
We certainly want to start integration with other services like Supabase in the future! First though we have some other core features we want to knock out like a prompt library (different prompts for different LLMs), diffs, etc.
@@ColeMedin excellent ideas + different prompts for different LLMs look promise :)
wait 4 it :)
Awesome!!!
Congrats Cole, you're a visionary!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Eric👏👏👏👏 Cole 👏👏👏👏
Honestly it makes sense, you elevated bolt.new beyond what they thought it would ever be. now add diff!!!!
I appreciate it Phil! Yeah diffs is one of the high priority features now!
@ColeMedin until it doesnt rewrite entire files and functions to make edits it's unfortunately just a toy
@@BirdManPhil everythings starts from zero untill it reaches at H and becomes Hero, you never know when youre going to get that H :D
Props to the both of you!!!!
brilient
You could just merge back into Bolt
This is actually becoming the official open source repo for Bolt.new! StackBlitz is archiving the original repo soon.
@@ColeMedin I love that you are collaborating for real
thats great news
Congratulations Cole!. Really excited for you and the community.
Thank you very much Charles!
Great job! I think congratulations is in order 🎉
Thank you!! 😊
what was that Microsoft saying? Embrace…
how muchthey paid you?
Not a dime! That wouldn't fit with the ethos of open source in my mind so this is truly a partnership for the betterment of open source!
@@ColeMedin Your diligent efforts on this impactful project are sincerely appreciated. I'm confident your significant contributions will pave the way for your success.
@@ColeMedin bruh they have millions you could have sold it so they can take it over omg
Congratulations! Im excited to see how this will enhance what has already been done with this project!
Thank you and so am I! :D
Congrats! Super excited!
Thanks, me too!!
Hard work always pay off, You All Deserve the Payoff!
insert Bogdanoff meme here: He sold! hahaha :))) good move by bolt parent, they've noticed they re getting smacked and bought them :)) gj interesting one. happy to continue using both and watch where it goes
I actually didn't sell out for this! Too be honest in my mind that would go against the ethos of open source, so this is just a true open source partnership! And also I'll still be the primary maintainer and driver of the community :)
@ColeMedin happy for u and the project in whatever form m8. Keep up the great work, its great
Thank you!
Fantastic news, congratulations. Wholeheartedly very happy for you.
Thank you so much!
Insane ! Congrats !!
Thank you!
Congratulations mate.
Thanks Tony!
tebrikler...👏
Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing work guys
Just want to highlight how your effort has impacted some1. I'm 40, never coded in my life and bcuz of all the hard work from you and the others helping, I made a chrome extension myself. I'm blown away. Your opening doors for ppl of all ages. THANK YOU
Congratulations❤🔥
Thank you! :D
Congratulations. Awesome work 🚀
Thanks so much!
Well done!

your first child should be named Otto "Bolt" Medin 😆
Haha I'll have to think about that lol
Super exciting!
Sure is! Thanks for all your help maintaining our project Ed!
Congrats
Congrats! I was wondering if bolt.diy will pull features from the current bolt.new from time to time, because bolt.new still has some things that bolt.diy doesn’t have yet? Would love to use the best of both worlds!
Yeah good question
Thanks and great question! Yes, we will be sharing ideas between the two!
@@ColeMedin Ideas... or code? Can I bet now that you won't get new code from .New much past the initial good feelings merger?
This is where I don't understand the synergies between open source and commercial platforms. Why would bolt.new just give away features that they have developed to an open source version for free? This sounds like a huge win for OttoDev and a loss for bolt.new as I don't see how this benefits them at all? How is it a benefit to a company that has to make money to pay staff etc that there is a free open source version of their product that might even get better?
Great news!
Lets go this is huge!
Thanks man! :D
Congrats mate. Started playing with this tool today, but my computer is a potato when it comes to AI models. Hope to upgrade and being able to run my own server soon.
Thank you! Sounds good - you can always use a provider like OpenRouter too if you want to play around with a bunch of different LLMs without having to run them yourself! But yeah running them yourself is awesome, good luck with your new setup!
bro you dont need highfi comp power for this just run my google collab, totally online, even on your mobile phone, just email me i ll share collab link. :) hope this helps.
congrats !!
Super excited 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats 🎉
Amazing news, the best of all worlds.
It sure is!!
Congrats bro ❤ amazing development 🥳
Amazing news. Thanks everyone for your hard work!
Congratulations 🎉 bro
Wow...just wow 😮
Congrats! I'm amazed at what you've pulled off in such short order.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
As we say in France, "bsartek !" (joke aside I'm so gladwe could build something to this point as a youtube community here)
This is great!
“It’s great work, go ahead! Wishing you all the best!”
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Sounds pretty amazing. So, as of today would you still say that OttoDev is still 'active' and can be used till the dyi get's figured out fully?
I’ve watched this guy before and didn’t realize he was the ceo of stackblitz 😂😂😂
mindblowing
Wicked Cole, go hard or home. 👊
Awesome great news ❤
