Agreed, backend engineers do not like writing frontend code. From there, for advanced views, I believe interval.com chose the route of having the frontend being defined in the task itself with an SDK (which I think is what you seem to hint towards?), and for windmill we have a drag-n-drop/retool-like UI builder if react is too much.

interval.com founder here, this is correct! Everything w/ us is defined in our SDK.

So instead of writing React code or using a drag-and-drop builder, you define everything ranging from simple forms to more complex views in Node.js or Python code using our SDK.
