Yes.

Define your data model and initialize your application.

Use https://www.cubicweb.org/project/cubicweb-rqlcontroller to provide
a query API on the route /rqlio (similar to providing a /__graphql
entry point).

On the client side, use https://www.npmjs.com/package/@logilab/cwclientlibjs

Then, use Vue, or React, or plain js/ts if that's how you do it.

You may want to look at
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@logilab/cwelements as an exemple of
building react components that display the data held in a CubicWeb
application queried via /rqlio.
