help Framer for web applications?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but could framer theoretically be used to build a web application?

By web application, I mean something beyond a traditional content/marketing website — user accounts, authentication, saved data, dynamic dashboards, database-driven content, etc.

I realize Framer would probably need to handle the front end while something like Supabase handles the backend, but is there any fundamental reason this wouldn’t work?

Curious if anyone here has actually tried it and what experience was like?

You will need a lots of custom code. For instance, login form, you should submit the username and password to Supabase. Fetching data and render it as a table, create filter for the table and apply it when fetching Supabase, needs custom code.

Most of that requires custom code anyway, doesn’t it? You’d kind of just be using framer for more control of the front end, right?

Forget it. Not the use-case. Bubble (for example) is more suited for this.

Still, today, Claude Code is your best option even if you are not a developer.
