Deciding Between Phoenix LiveView and REST API for a CRUD Application

Left-Confidence6005 is working on an in-store information system that will be deployed in several hundred locations and will function as both a desktop web app and a mobile app. They are contemplating if it makes sense to use Phoenix LiveView for the web frontend while using Flutter for the mobile application. They consider building a single REST API and using React for the web frontend as an alternative. The discussion also touches on the implications of LiveView using WebSockets instead of REST API, especially for an application that will run continuously during work hours. Feedback suggests that LiveView might not be the best fit for a CRUD application and that a REST API might be more suitable.
