My sidebar in the works for many months and still ongoing
I've been working on this sidebar for months, if not over a year. I have cobbled together multiple skins from other authors that I have restyled to my liking using various plugins. The skins on the bottom all hook into my personal Home Assistant home automation platorm to view the status of and control various devices around the house.

Google Home -> Apple HomeKit
Not sure if this is up your alley but I've been using this for a while now and it's great. You can combine all your hubs and devices into one place, then branch them out as you need.

New owner of a (bare) townhome with no smart devices: what platforms and whole-home systems/bundles do you recommend?
He means building system using https://www.home-assistant.io/ but i think you were asking about the equipment? I think wyze has a decent beginner system here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084TCTJH3 . Might have to go on their website since amazon is OOS

I finally got my Linux server built and set up. I installed and configured Pi-Hole on it this morning and I am loving it. I cant wait to figure out what else I can do with it. So far it's a NAS and PiHole. Give me some more ideas.
Put https://www.home-assistant.io/ on it !

Is there a solution that will allow us to sync ConnectWise & ServiceNow ticketing system bi-directionally?
If you've got the time and are familiar with the ConnectWise Manage API you could use something like n8n.io or n8n.cloud (it already has integration for ServiceNow, but you'd need to build out your integration in it for CW Manage).

Should I sacrifice one product for another?
Why is your first product better than n8n.io? This isn't really addressing your question, but just wanted to point out that there is an well capitalised competitor directly addressing the "open source alternative for Zapier" that has a large headstart in a space that, to me, seems to be about amassing as many integrations as possible as fast as possible.

Use node-red to replace the Zapier (as a workflow automation tool)
Node-red has a lot of potential as a low-code development tool. However, many people utilize node-red for IoT-related objectives. I'm curious whether anyone has utilized node-red as a workflow automation tool, similar to Zapier or n8n.io. I see alternatives provide nodes for practically every digital site we use in our daily lives. Is there a sufficient number of nodes on the node-red platform for usage as a workflow automation/low-code product development tool?

Nocode platform advice for data driven SaaS product
This a good start. Sincerely, you have the scope and breadth nicely set. It has to be like this when you start a big project. If I was doing this project for a client who wants to build it mostly themselves, I would need to know even more and in specific how you intend to call you python pieces and gather them into the app. But assuming you have a method in mind (or are open to suggestions) then I would choose Bildr on the client side and Node-Red on the server and perhaps npn.io for some things. Happy to discuss further.

Ask HN: What are you using for a RSS Reader?
I have a Raspberry Pi running Miniflux [1] and a daemon running to send webhooks [2]. These webhooks go to an n8n [3] workflow that distributes the posts based on keywords or source to different channels - like Telegram, Twitter (my own feeds), and a custom made notifications app I'm developing.

Grafana but better?
Something like https://redash.io with https://n8n.io connected to InfluxDB?

Which licence would be similar to this?
What's the use case for this license? If you want to prevent others from making money off of your work, rather consider GPL (which keeps derivatives open source) or the Sustainable Use License (which only allows distribution if it's free).

The rise of no-code platforms
n8n.io is the closest thing to what you’ve described. It’s newish in the no-code space but it’s already very powerful
