[RFC]: Omit front side - use Redwoodjs as a Server only

[Tsimopak]

Summary

I'd suggest to create and build only backend side, to allow developers to use any web/mobile front framework and tech.

Motivation

I think that would be great to allow more versatile tools for the developer to use

Detailed proposal

I guess from the beginning we could could create a redwood project with --backend flag or something like that to allow only backend code to be generated

Are you interested in working on this?

A great first step here would be to set up a regular Redwood project, and then document what it takes to get rid of the web side of things.
@Tsimopak is that something you'd be interested in doing?

[Tsimopak]

Thanks Tobbe! I wish I would have enough time to do that! unfortunately I have no time to do that, hopefully in the future if it would still be relevant

I also feel like i'm too newbie in web development to do such thing
