Frontend
The client side of an application — everything the end user sees and interacts with in their web browser or mobile app, as opposed to the backend that runs on the server.
General definition
Frontend is an informal name for the things that happen on the client side, visible to the end user in their web browser or in their iOS or Android app — as opposed to the backend, where things happen on the server and are not directly visible to the user.
Frontend in the Ethora ecosystem
Ethora ships frontend as a core part of the platform: white-labelled mobile apps for iOS and Android, web apps built with React.js, and multiple SDKs (Chat SDK, AI SDK, Documents Wallet SDK). This ready-to-use framework lets teams skip building their own interface layer and focus on customisation and branding.
There are three ways to implement it:
- No-code — white-labelled apps deployable in about 15 minutes.
- Low-code — SDKs and pre-built components dropped into your own app.
- Custom — connect your own frontend to Ethora’s backend via API or XMPP.
