Ask HN: European Tech Alternatives?

109 points

I've used https://european-alternatives.eu in the past but I've found it impossible to submit anything there (I've got one submission "Waiting for Review" since July 2025), and I haven't really seen updates in categories/apps for at least 6 months, which is, at a minimum, strange.

I've also reached out to the owner a couple of times (via chat and via email) over the last year and never got a reply.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so, is there any other kind of listing you look for EU alternatives to US software/hardware?

Thanks!

EDIT: My motivations are my own, this isn't supposed to be a political or social commentary of any kind. I happen to prefer to spend money in "local companies" whenever possible, and I'm in the EU.
