I run a small hosting setup on WHMCS and keep getting requests from clients for simple dashboards and status pages that WHMCS doesn't really cover out of the box. I don't have a dev background, so I've been looking at AI app builders like Lovable and Emergent to spin up lightweight front-end tools that pull data from the WHMCS API.
What I'm unsure about is whether either of these realistically produces something I can maintain, especially around API authentication and keeping client data secure. I'm also worried about ending up locked into a platform I can't export from later. Cost at low volume matters to me too, since this is a side operation in South Dakota, not a large agency.
Has anyone here built client-facing add-ons or dashboards with these tools and connected them to WHMCS? I'd like to hear what actually worked and what broke.
