Bolt.diy
Open-source fork of StackBlitz's bolt.new — full-stack app generator that writes, runs, and iterates on web apps in a sandboxed WebContainer. Bolt.diy adds local-LLM support: point it at Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible local endpoint and prompt-to-app generation works entirely offline. The killer demo for showing non-developers what a local coding agent can do. Limited to web-app generation (Node/React/Vue/Svelte stacks) — not a general-purpose coding agent like Aider or Cline.

Pros
- Visual full-stack code-gen — prompt to running app in browser
- Local-LLM backend support is the headline differentiator from bolt.new
- Sandboxed execution (WebContainer) is genuinely safe
- Best 'show your friends what local AI can do' demo in the catalog
Cons
- Web-app generation only — no terminal/Python/CLI projects
- Smaller models (<14B) struggle with the full-stack reasoning needed
- Active fork tree — pin a commit if you're in production
