Depends on traffic and what you want to do. Heroku is a great place to start and get your app built, then start looking at other hosting companies when you discover that the costs are too high.
You should be able to start "for free" with Heroku until you hit 1000s of load.
Bonus: Here's Heroku's Django deployment guide
I think one of my favorite UI's is an app called lettuce (even though im sure there are better designs out there), it just gives you so much information using a very simple design.
And yes, i think UI matters very much because even if you try not to "judge a book by its cover" i believe it is human nature and i myself deleted/didnt even download apps that might have been great but just looked awful.
Also bad UI might look great but not be intuative which is bad UX
You are looking for a raspberry pi, or some other pre built board. They are simple to get started on, relatively cheap to buy, and enabled you to interact with thousands of devices through gpio header and wifi/Bluetooth.
YouTube is a good place to start. And amazon sells starter kits for under $100 bucks. You can get cheaper if you already have some materials.

That's called data mining, data extraction or web scraping.
You can get tons of free lancers for the job.
I can't say how hard or easy without seeing the website first.
9 out of 10 times you can easily do that with xpath locators and some cleanup, but this site seems to be dynamically generating the content, so it might be more complicated then I anticipate.
If you want to try it yourself, check https://selectorgadget.com/ and try going from there.
Looks amazing🎉, better to have authentication as well. I would suggest you to try LoginRadius wordpress plugin for social login and registration.
Have a look and enjoy quick authentication implementation 👍

I'm a developer and I went with the MacBook Pro 16. Screen size matters alot. I also use two external monitors driven by a hub that plugs into two of my USB c's. I had a Macbook Air 13 and went this route to get a faster newer machine with a bigger screen. Those 3"s matter ALOT.

I doubt you'd notice the core differences with what you are doing. If you were running VMs it might matter. In that case go more cores and more ram. I opted for fewer cores but more RAM and 1TB disk. Very very happy.
​
I just bought two Acer monitors from Costco (27" VG270) and love them. Not expensive and great size and resolution. The hub I got is this one.

I like your thinking, I basically had the same idea as you, I built a version for android, have not updated or maintained in a long time though... I think most people use it just to listen to SoundCloud music, since I know how to access there API https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sound.staxx.big.soundpriority
