Overview of Bolt

Bolt is an online code editor and prototyping tool that allows users to write, test, and share code without needing to install any software. It’s ideal for quickly prototyping ideas before full-scale development, testing small snippets of code without setting up a full environment, and collaborating with team members using real-time sharing.

Key features of Bolt include:

• Browser-Based Development: No software installation needed; just open a browser to start coding.
• Multi-Device Compatibility: Works across desktops, tablets, and mobiles.
• Multi-Language Support: Supports languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Node.js.
• Real-Time Code Execution: Code can be run instantly within the browser, and projects can be previewed in real time.
• Collaboration and Sharing: Easily generate sharable links for code, perfect for remote team collaboration.
