I feel very uneasy about this, and I am not sure why. I feel like the "meat and potatoes" of any application is its data and backend code, not the frontend. Frontends can change among clients, or even be given up altogether (just use a CLI/API interface for example) but the backend business logic is what defines a program. An app is what it _does_, not what it _looks like_.
This approach has been tried several times over the past few years: I first used DreamFactory[1] several years ago for a small production app (less than a few thousand users) and now I see Supabase [2] trying the same. But in my experience these don't go past very limited internal enterprise use-cases, MVPs and toy frontend apps.
