How does WeWeb work under the hood?

Hello, I’m coming from Bubble and this seems like a perfect substitute. Before I start building though, I’d like to ask some questions.

  1. Is the page built with SSR? Such as, the conditionals, and member pages, are they protected by being rendered on the server, or is it just pure client side JS?

  2. How do the file uploads work? I’m trying to create a button to delete uploads, but I see that the file upload element, uploads and hosts the files on WeWeb directly?

Thanks a lot!

  1. client side js
  2. if you want to have more control over uploaded files you need to use your own backend. There is an example in the docs

Hey, thanks for the answer, so users can access anything rendered conditionally? Such as, if I hide an admin button from the non admin users, they can unveil it and use it? Based on what you’re saying it is gonna be in the DOM
