Let's say there is a forum site with a flask backend (possibly django as well), it doesn't matter. The question is how to make an application for this site on flutter, I have an idea, only how to make an application right away with a new backend, and not take the database and backend from the site. An example of this: VK, YouTube, all sorts of online stores. They have both a website and applications, I don’t understand how to connect at all.

VK and YouTube have a separate website and a separate API for the mobile application. It also happens that the backend provides only an API that is equally used by both the frontend and the mobile application. So the answer to your question depends on how the backend of your site is made.

Most likely, an API should be written for your site. Perhaps there are ready-made plugins if the standard platform was used.
