If you’re shipping internal tools or semi-public dashboards, this matters more than people admit.</p> <h2> When NOT to use it </h2> <p>If you need a fully custom backend with unique auth flows and complex integrations, you’ll outgrow a publish-first workflow. But for quick internal tools, static sites, and data exploration, speed wins.</p> <p>Questions welcome. If there’s interest, I can follow up with a full example repo + MiniUp app build.</p> webdev
