Loading Custom Maps

I am a creator who wish to use this incredibly epic but newly found software to build a custom home trackihg system. I have tried and used almost all the Saas type builders, Retool, Appsmith, Buddibase etc. but then I found Windmill and I instantly liked it. I though, it would most likely the solutions to get passed all the poorly implemented custom widgets of the other platforms. I wondered why it is not way more popular, I dont think Appsmith can even compare with Windmill.

I am experienced in advanced map apis in almost all languages, and the first thing I do is see how I can customize something like a Google maps or Mapbox maps in a custom widget, I just want client side js and data I can sent through. I draw some zones, paths, markers and icons on the maps. I though this should be easy, through a custom component. Until I clicked it and it says EE features only. My disappointment was a new low, and I realized why its not more popular. Would be a simple feature to implement but if it is made to deliberately stop one from doing something like this in the open-source tactic, this would be exactly the reason why it is not in the popularity of n8n, but it deserves to be.

I do not have much hope, but is there anyway to make something like still work? For those who would say, just pay $60 or what a month, I genuinely cant, we live in South Africa, for a home project it is absolutely impossible.

Any response in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I wish one could just pay $10 to unlock this for a single developer. Why are all these SaaS apps so maker unfriendly?

As we're preparing for a new Windmill sandbox SDK, we took the opportunity **to open-source NSJAIL sandboxing** and make it available in CE and easier to set. In 1.634.0, just set nsjail to benefit from the tightest security and isolation per job. It's constraining so no need to use it unless you need but now you won't be restricted in security for CE if you need to.
