Build Web Apps – not Microsoft 365, Teams, or SPFx Apps

Build Web Apps – not Microsoft 365, Teams, or SPFx Apps

Too many Microsoft 365 developers are laser-focused on creating Microsoft Teams apps & SharePoint apps (using the SharePoint Framework) when they should focus on creating web apps.

Before I explain what I mean, let’s first look at the different choices that Microsoft 365 developers have. I want to be clear that I’m not saying this applies to everything. In this article, I’m talking about things like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and Viva Connections.
