Blitz.js is a full-stack React framework that helps developers build applications from the front end to the back end, including the database. It is inspired by Ruby on Rails and built on Next.js.

A full-stack React framework like Blitz.js deals with both the front-end and back-end layers of an application, including the database, as opposed to frameworks like Create React App or Next.js which primarily focus on the front-end.

'Batteries-included framework' means that Blitz.js provides most of the necessary tools and features needed to build an application right out of the box.

Blitz.js is inspired by Ruby on Rails in terms of productivity and ease of use, but it is built with modern features and on top of Next.js.

The 'zero API data layer abstraction' in Blitz.js allows developers to work with data from the database without needing to create APIs, eliminating the need for REST or GraphQL.

You can install the Blitz CLI by running the command `npm install -g blitz` in your terminal.

The main folders in a Blitz.js project include the 'app' folder, 'DB' folder, 'pages' folder, and 'queries' and 'mutations' folders for handling data fetching and updating, respectively.

You can create a new Blitz.js project by running the command `blitz new [project-name]` in your terminal.
