bolt.diy is a browser-based full-stack development environment (the open-source community edition of bolt.new) that supports collaborative frontend and backend development, allowing users to run Node.js servers and interact deeply with APIs.
Its key advantages include
- multimodal LLM support (e.g., seamless DeepSeek integration),
- real-time in-browser coding/debugging,
- visual deployment pipelines,
- one-click publishing to major cloud platforms like Vercel/Netlify.
By combining with DeepSeek, developers gain free access to intelligent code completion and API debugging capabilities.
