'Using design frameworks for teams

We are building our web app and want to choose right design frameworks. Our plan is to build a stand alone web application and then to integrate it with Microsoft Teams. As I understand, web applications integrate with Teams using IFrame.

In the documentation for Teams developers is written that if I want to develop my web app inside Teams (as Teams web app), it is recommended to use Fluent UI Northstar. But if I want to develop just a stand alone web application and then to integrate with Teams, could I use other frameworks like Bootstrap, React bootstrap or Syncfusion? Are there any constraints while integrating with Teams?

Thanks in advance!

In simple terms, as you've said, a tab is just a web page iframed into Teams. The only major requirement is that it reference the Teams javascript SDK and reference the Javascript SDK, calling

microsoftTeams.initialize();

You can read more about this here.

As a result, you can use any web development technology (ASP.Net, php, node, etc.) and use/not use any front end development or design framework. I've built in the past, for example, tabs using jQuery and Bootstrap.

You can use any web development technology as suggested by Hilton. You can also use Fluent UI for web application development.
