# Introduction

{% hint style="warning" %}
Bolt is still in beta, and hence can contain errors and might crash the app. If you face any problem, take a screenshot of the UI, the code<https://creatorlabs.gitbook.io/boltui-docs-preview/> itself and the snapshot of the Stack Trace if exists, and fill the form: <https://forms.gle/uj6HG7tWiHkwcsUQ7>
{% endhint %}

The Web Developer community has a peeve of new javascript frameworks releasing every now and then, and Bolt is one of such frameworks.

The reason I started working on Bolt is to take my understanding of Javascript to the next level, as well as to see if there is any way to achieve what modern front-end frameworks are achieving without the heavy lifting of virtual dom or a runtime.

The motivation behind Bolt was to create something new, to understand the web platform and to build even better for the next generation. Bolt is new in the sense that it does things quite differently than most other frameworks, while the approach to building apps using it can be fimilliar to most developers.

This project is still under development, and I wish I can unleash it's full potential and release it soon.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://creatorlabs.gitbook.io/boltui-docs-preview/getting-started/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
