WeWeb promises exportable code.But exportable doesn’t mean maintainable.

Scroll has built interfaces in WeWeb. We know what the tool can do to speed up a frontend connected to Supabase or Xano. We also know why the exported Vue.js code is usually not the kind your developers will want to maintain.

01 — What We Do

Three scenarios
where we step in on a WeWeb project.

Building the interface, auditing the existing setup, or moving the frontend out of the editor. The right move depends on your application’s maturity—not a pre-set sales pitch.

01

WeWeb Interface Development

WeWeb makes sense when you already have a Supabase or Xano backend and want to build the interface quickly, without relying on a full-time frontend developer.

02

Existing Project Audit

Your WeWeb interface works but is becoming hard to scale. Pages pile up, component logic is unreadable, and performance issues start to arise. We diagnose.

03

Frontend Migration to Next.js

Your Supabase backend is solid—it’s the WeWeb frontend that’s holding you back. We replace the WeWeb layer with custom Next.js, while preserving your data schema and all backend logic.

02 — The "export Vue.js" argument

Why the WeWeb export
doesn’t solve the maintainability issue.

"You can export your code" is WeWeb’s strong argument. It’s real—but incomplete. Here’s what it hides, and what’s already solid on your end.

01

Generated code, not written code

WeWeb does export Vue.js, that’s true. But this code is generated by a visual editor: it’s structured to work with WeWeb, not to be read and modified by a developer. Component names are generic, logic is nested, and tests are missing.

02What survives

The backend, however, is already clean

If you built your backend on Supabase, you already have a solid and portable foundation. The migration doesn’t touch this—we only replace the WeWeb frontend layer with Next.js that communicates with the same Supabase.

03

Complex logic always ends up as code

WeWeb allows writing JavaScript in its components. On growing projects, this custom logic ends up representing most of the code—and it’s scattered across the visual editor, without structure or tests.

03 — Migration stack

What we replace
— and what we keep.

The WeWeb migration isn’t a full rebuild. We replace the frontend layer; the Supabase backend, however, stays in place. This makes the operation significantly lighter than a Bubble migration.

In most WeWeb migrations, the Supabase backend remains untouched. We only rebuild what’s in the visual editor.
04 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions we get during scoping. If yours isn’t here, reach out!

WeWeb is closer to code than Bubble—it generates Vue.js and allows custom JS. But “close to code” isn’t the same as “maintainable code.” As soon as a technical team takes over the project, the difference is immediate.

No. This is precisely the strength of this architecture: the Supabase backend is completely independent of WeWeb. We only replace the frontend layer; the data schema and all tables remain in place.

For a medium-sized application (10 to 20 views, established business logic): 6 to 12 weeks. We migrate view by view, keeping WeWeb live until the final switch.

Yes. Not every project justifies a migration. We can help improve performance, restructure existing WeWeb components, or document the current setup without changing the stack.

If you want to quickly validate an interface on an existing backend: WeWeb can be a good fit. If the application is meant to become critical or integrate AI, we start directly with Next.js—the initial time savings don’t outweigh the cost of a future migration.

Your Supabase backend is solid. Is your WeWeb frontend just as robust?

We assess together — without assuming migration is necessary.
