I know refine is supposed to be used for
I know refine is supposed to be used for internal tools, but I really like the philsophy of how it separates data from UI. So, ended up using it in a production application that's more a user facing SaaS. Wonder if anyone else has used refine for production apps like that or if it truly is mostly all internal tooling

@Joe Gaffney gave a great response, and I wanted to add something to it.
While designing Refine's features, we prioritized solving the needs of internal tools. However, we always made sure to keep Refine flexible and avoided any limits that could block React. Since Refine provides all its features using React's Context API, you can use it for general-purpose solutions without any limitations. However, you might not be able to fully utilize all of Refine's features.
If you encounter any restrictions, issues, or have any suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us!

To expand a bit, I've used Refine to build an MVP for a stablecoin banking application with a Kotlin backend. Plus on a more solo endeavor, an ERP for content creation https://info.taskforger.com with a Python backend

Oh nice! I'm currently using it for a CAD to do drug discovery. It's basically a way for medicinal chemists to run simulations on proteins and analyze binding affinities for small molecules. Refine helps a lot with the simple CRUD so we can spend more time on the actual CAD part of the application
