What challenges have you faced creating custom UIs with Airtable as the backend?

Have you built responsive web interfaces that use Airtable behind the scenes? Share your experiences with limitations of Airtable’s native interface and any alternative frameworks you tried.

i had weird delays and layout issues using airtable as a backend. the api sometimes slowws things down and syncing felt tricky, but custom hooks in react kinda helped smoothen the rough edges. overall, a bit frustrating but surmountable.
