I think Replit agent is great for backend heavy CRUD (Flask, vanilla JS), but less useful for modern front-end (React, Svelte etc) compared to these 3.
In my experience the 3 (Bolt, Lovable and v0) all handle generating fully-functional React apps to varying degrees of "good" even if you're working on a more complex problem. I haven't been able to get as good React output from Replit. It's great if you're not as invested in JavaScript frameworks, but this was a requirement for the kinds of apps I build. As always I encourage folks to evaluate themselves :)
Hey, I am building a product, so I have built the frontend part using V0, now since you have suggested to use bolt for Backend, how do I integrate V0 (frontend) and use Bolt to create a backend using V0's frontend and how do I integrate DB to both?
Just had a 30min call with Lovable, they’re launching a hire a builder program.
Thinking of making more content on it, a full masterclass even, for free. Can i reference this post in the training? If you like the idea, care to restack? ❤️
Replit Agent uses React now! Worth the test. If you have feedback or Q's on it, you're welcome to email me at jeff@replit.com
Thanks for that, it's helpful! I'd love to know how those 3 stack against Replit with their new AI flow offering?

Interesting, can you elaborate why? Doesn’t it create a fully functioning React app as well? Do you mean it’s harder to control how the UI is built?

Love the side by side comparison and screenshots - thank you! Curious why Cursor didn't make the cut?
