The BEN Stack - Bubble, Express, Node

I’ve been a huge fan of building in what I’m calling the BEN stack lately: using Bubble for all straightforward functionality like frontend, login, and database, and then using an Express/Node app to do the heavy backend functionality that Bubble can't handle and provides most of the value in the app.

I'm curious if any of you have tried mixing nocode tools into your stack before, because obviously one of the biggest time sucks in traditional development is writing all of the frontend stuff that is 90% the same across Sass projects.

I made a video that shows how I used this framework if anyone wants to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGbrLF7sEo 11

    That's a great idea. How are you communicating between the Bubble app and the custom backend? How much control does Bubble give you?
