Really confused about what this does or what advantages it brings.

  Dynamic page content without hosting a backend. Backend hosting can be enormously complicated when you just want to be able to edit a few fields in the page dynamically.

    How is netlify not the backend
    • Sammi 7y ago
      My experience is that the "backend" of a website is where the backend business logic code and the database of the web page is. But in this case it is all running in the frontend in the browser. Netlify is just the static web page host.

        Yeh I guess the logic itself is being executed in the browser to alter state, but the state change is being applied by netlify
