Transcript context

…of the thing. Yeah. So I want to riff a little bit on like stuff like this, right? I think you nailed a lot with the design system. You know, one of the differences between open source Bolt and the one that you have is actually like you, you spend a lot of time on the design system. I think, right. Most things just look great when they come out, but I think there's also a whole backend portion that they need. Was that a challenge? Is there anything that you sort of like figuring out that you want to riff on? Yeah. So I think one of the main things, I think you hit the nail on the head, which is, you know, kind of going into putting Bolt online. We originally, again, we've been selling to developers and so we were kind of like, this is a tool for prototyping and they'll download their code. But we ended up finding in the early user testing was how important the deployment story was and how, and this is something you said to me specifically, you're like backend, this needs to like backend needs to be part of this, like logging in, like off just to triple confirm you're dead right. That has been the absolute number one thing that folks coming to Bolt, you know, are looking to do is build a real app with a backend, with billing. And so one of this guy, Mauricio, he's one of our power users. He's like, there's three things that like every app that I'll ever want to build in Bolt, any of these other people in this community, you know, three things, a database, auth, and payments. So those three things, right. So that's- Admin dashboard. We can do that pretty decently, pretty decently. As in every database needs a WP admin. Yes. Yes. Correct. Totally. Totally. And so, yeah, today I think like viral hooks, for example, I think she's using Firebase for auth and database and that sort of thing. You know, so I think Firebase and Superbase, those are the two things that, that just work incredibly well. And so that's actually the point where we're at now, where, you know, right now it's, you know, folks have to still, you know, kind of go to Superbase, manually spin up a thing, come back to Bolt, but the thing that, you know, it's like that sort of processing thing with Firebase, each of those products are going to have their own little quirks that you have to, there's like kind of steps, right. And so- Boltbase. Yeah. Boltbase. Yeah. I think, yeah, I think initially we're like, okay, there should just be a way to like, for Bolt to just go and spin up these things on their behalf and just, and just, you know, both of them have APIs to do so. I'll go even further, like have like pre-warm instances that you just assign, like it's already spun up, right. So it's, so it's like kind of serverless feeling, even as like, not really, but like yeah, just pre-warm and then just kind of assign it when, whenever someone like- That's a really great point. Yeah. Just keep, keep one…
