About StackBlitz
StackBlitz is an online IDE focused on web development. It runs Node.js and the full npm ecosystem directly inside the browser using WebContainers, so projects boot in a few seconds without spinning up a remote VM.
It offers ready-made templates for frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, and Vite, plus support for plain HTML/CSS/JS. Projects come with a live preview, devserver, terminal, and shareable URLs, which makes it convenient for reproducible bug reports and tutorials.
StackBlitz is widely used by framework authors and library maintainers to ship interactive docs, by educators for hands-on lessons, and by developers for quick experiments. Bolt, its AI app builder, generates and edits StackBlitz projects from natural-language prompts.
