It's good to hear that you moved to a self-hosted solution. I can tell the differences between n8n and Automatisch so that you can compare them better.

- Automatisch is an open-source software where n8n is fair-code licensed. Therefore, it especially differs from the licensing perspective.

- n8n has a canvas-based flow editor, while Automatisch has an editor like Zapier's.

- From the UX perspective, we try our best to keep it so that anyone with and without technical knowledge can easily build workflow automation.

I use n8n too, but the biggest problem for me (as a developer) is, that it cost too much time to define complex rules and test them. An easier define and better test output procedure could be a great advantage over n8n.

Don't concentrate too much on "non" developers, cause these people normaly not use such tools, no matter how easy they are. That is why i hope you add better tooling for developer, to make their live easier.
