Frontend Only Apps
Frontend Only Apps are web applications that run entirely in the user's browser, with no server-side backend for dynamic data processing or business logic. They rely on client-side technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to handle all rendering, state management, and user interactions, often using static hosting services. This approach simplifies deployment and reduces server costs, but is limited to use cases that don't require server-side computation or real-time data updates.
Developers should use Frontend Only Apps for simple projects like portfolios, marketing sites, or small tools where data is static or can be fetched from third-party APIs without server processing. It's ideal for rapid prototyping, low-budget projects, or when leveraging static site generators for performance and scalability, but not suitable for applications needing user authentication, database operations, or complex server-side logic.
