Announcement: https://old.reddit.com/r/Startups_EU/comments/1j5njk2/europeanstartupseu/

Hey Europe!

We’ve launched a small initiative called european-startups.eu to bring together all European startups, brands, products, and initiatives in one place. We are a group of people working in different areas within the IT space, but all with a shared goal: to make European startups more visible.

While there are platforms like ProductHunt and other websites showcasing EU products and alternatives, we wanted to combine the best of both.

We've introduced a voting system where you can upvote projects you like. Each week, the featured projects will change, and the winners will be highlighted on our website. A newsletter will also be sent to subscribers with updates. No sponsorships, no shady practices. The only option we may consider is adding sponsors to a separate page or to the footer with a very minimal logo.

Additionally, we’re running our own AI locally, connected to DNB & VIES, to gather EU companies into one easy-to-navigate list.

We already got featured in some areas, so I hope our server is powerful enough to handle the traffic. We still have a lot to do.

PS Fun fact: we used 16-core 32gb from Hetzner to run all these fancy stuff. 😄

edit: After reading the privacy notice (which is only available after Installation), it seems they are using Gemini AI for identifikation, so Take the results with a grain of Salt. Could have been better utilizing Mistral or a Database Like FDDB directly.

I'm trying Lunatask. It's a one-man project, and the author is from the Czech Republic. The software looks interesting, complete, and visually appealing. It also stands out from a privacy perspective, offering end-to-end encryption.

Mentioned by nightm4re I would really love for this thingy to skyrocket.

And yes, I know.... I know.. drop in replacement, usability, acceptance. Is a simple monkey not allowed to dream?

So, I want to slowly start moving towards better platforms that are from eu but I have issue. I don’t know which discord alternative is the best. I only know matrix and revolt. Would someone help me or give me their thoughts?

Hello everyone,

I'm living in Germany and looking for a good PayPal alternative. I mainly need it for:

• Sending money to friends
• Paying online, especially to small vendors
• Ordering food and everyday purchases

I've heard about Bunq, Klarna, Revolut, and N26, but I'm not sure which one would be best for my needs. Has anyone had experience with these services in Germany? Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance!

Found on r/buyFromEU: a promo video by our Polish neighbours. It can be enjoyed with subtitles.

Overall, I think it is a nice campaign and shows some products and inventions you wouldn't associate with Poland at a frist glimpse.

I thought to research where my current Seedbox company was located and they were a Singaporean company. I got a good deal and reliable service with them, but let’s see what the EU has to offer. Any recommendations?

For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

What is the best Mastodon server for tweeting about politics of the EU and world?

Should be well moderated as well so that it is not a spam of japanese or sexual content

I need to buy some NAS drives. Originally I wanted to go for seagate but they being US company, I have no desire anymore. WD is also US. I know I could opt for Toshiba (Japan) or Synology (Taiwan), both probably excellent options, but I am curious, do we have something european? I didn't find anything. Any experience with the Toshiba or Synology regarding reliability? Thanks

DNS0 EU

The European public DNS that makes your Internet safer.

A free, sovereign and GDPR-compliant recursive DNS resolver with a strong focus on security to protect the citizens and organizations of the European Union.

I've decided to make some significant changes in my digital life. I've taken the plunge and am rooting out most US-based services from my usage list. This includes canceling all my streaming subscriptions, putting my Reddit account in cold storage, and deleting my Twitter accounts. Additionally, I'm in the process of removing my presence from Meta platforms. This shift is part of my effort to simplify and re-evaluate my online habits and dependencies.

One of the primary reasons for this change is the importance of bolstering the EU economy. By supporting European companies and services, I believe we can foster innovation and growth within our own region. This not only strengthens our economic independence but also encourages the development of solutions tailored to our specific needs and values.

In my exploration of EU-based alternatives, I've found that while they may be slightly more expensive, they often offer superior technology and usability. The focus on quality, privacy, and user experience in many European products aligns with my personal values and expectations. By investing in these solutions, I'm not only supporting local businesses but also benefiting from advanced and reliable services.

This transition is about more than just personal preference; it's about contributing to a stronger, more self-sufficient European digital landscape. I'm excited to continue discovering and integrating more EU-based services into my daily life.

Despite the costs and effort needed to make this change, I would like to encourage and motivate everyone else considering doing the same. It will undoubtedly be tough for a while, but if we push forward together, it will be better for all of us in the end. Let's support each other in this journey towards a more independent and innovative digital future.

Eventhough dated (2014) these maps might be a good starting point for a closer look at supply chains and economic dependencies.

In regards to everyday products this begs the question if people could really go "cold turkey European only". It should be impossible, especially since all manufacturers rely on goods from different countries.

Which doesn't imply, that the gist of strengthening Europe is futil. But it makes clear, that this is a marathon and not a sprint.

I can recommend this Ukrainian Cloud Gaming Provider: https://boosteroid.com/ Works with your steam account, so you can play all games on your steam account with high end graphic cards on ultra setting and don't need to buy expensive hardware yourself just to play video games.

The maker of European Alternatives on future user contributions.

So far I've found https://www.xtorm.de/collections/cables from the Netherlands and https://recable.eu/ from Germany. Do you know any additional ones?

Slowly beginning to use European alternatives for the following. See the list below.

I figured it was a good start to all the new ones around here: Google -> Qwant Apple Music -> Qobuz ChatGPT -> Me Chat Twitter/X -> Mastodon

And of course: Reddit -> Lemmy

I will update this list as I continue 👌🏼

Although this is most likely not at all a political decision, it's great to see Liverpool go for a European kit provider. It's only fitting that Europe's (arguably) currently strongest team will play in outfits designed and provided by a European company.
