7 months ago Are apps basically APIs (hosted wherever the app creator chooses) that WebStudio front-ends can talk to? I could imagine an "app" having an API paired with a front-end component for the administrative user to manage the app with, and one or more components to be presented to the end user. Is that basically how it works?
If not, then could you explain in more detail how the apps work?

7 months ago Similar thing to figma apps, they are effectively standalone web apps loaded via iframe, hosted by the 3rd-party provider but with access to project data and api to change it

7 months ago Unless they've been vastly improved when I wasn't looking, iframes are a terrible solution, since they do not get resized based on their content the way a div does.
(According to ChatGPT they still work the way I remember. And I cannot find anything in the documentation to suggest that they have changed in this respect.)
Is there any reason to use iframes? How do you deal with the nightmare of sizing them properly?
