## What it is
Refine is an open-source React framework for rapidly building internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, and B2B applications on top of existing REST or GraphQL APIs and services like Supabase. It provides headless hooks and optional UI integrations (Ant Design, Material UI, etc.) so developers keep full control over code and design.

## Use cases
- build an admin panel for a REST API
- create an internal CRUD dashboard for my team
- generate a B2B app connected to Supabase
- scaffold a React admin UI with Ant Design
- build a data-heavy internal tool with GraphQL
- rapidly prototype an internal app with AI assistance

## When to choose
- you need admin panels, dashboards, or internal tools quickly on top of existing APIs
- you want a React-based, headless framework with flexible data-provider support
- you want full code ownership instead of a closed low-code platform

## When to avoid
- you are building a public-facing marketing site or content blog
- you need a no-code tool for non-developers
- your app has no CRUD/data-heavy requirements
