I’m primarily a backend developer these days, because that’s just how it’s played out where I work. But we’ve made the choice to do most things with Typescript since it lets us share resources, libraries and cooperate better with code reuse/reviews and such. So I can fairly easily switch to working on our React frontend, what I can’t do, is to make quick frontends for the services which will sort of need an “excel” type frontend. We even have a fairly generic component for it, but it very rarely does the job because our business is… well demanding things they might not really need.

This looks like a good thing. In that regard. Maybe not for us, but definitely a very useful tool for all developers because it can potentially let you deliver business value rapid.

Which is what I read from the lines you quote. I see no backend vs frontend discussion here, I only see a useful tool.

Even if you want to eventually build it into your React frontend, a tool like this will offer immense value for internal testing by users who won’t be able to do it through something like Postman, which is basically 99% of the employees in non-tech enterprise.
