How are Projects Saved in The Chat History

bolt.diy [bolt.diy] Issues and Troubleshooting

Hi. Just joined. Thanks for the awesome work and for creating this platform.

I created a few chats (projects) in http://localhost:5173/ which I can access from the browser. However, when I open http://localhost:5173/ in a different browser (like Firefox) the chat history is not there.

I assume that the history is saved in the browser cache? If so, is there a way to transfer this to a different browser. Also, will I lose all my work if I clear my browser cache?

I know I can download the files, but until we can upload them, this is not the ideal way to go about it.

Thanks.

Yes, currently its stored in IndexDB which is in Browser Cache

For me most exciting future direction is to switch to using github as a store of projects, may be even saving chat history in the repo.

Next step for me is to allow importing/exporting files/folders
So you can start a chat from local folder or add/overwrite files in the middle of the chat

And after that next step is better integration with github so that we can pull and push github repos.

Thank for your feedback. I like the order of your priorities. Importing/exporting will be such a gamechanger.

This is just super, it would be great to upload existing projects there to continue working with the projects that I started on bolt.new
