European Alternatives

It's a little weird in some places.

Snickers for example shows first "Alprose" which I never heard, it's a small company that's not even common IN Switzerland. It lists Julius mainl which if it does chocolate its far from their actual business. And half of the other companies also seem regional niche stuff.

Dunno but gives a very vibe coded vibe

I tried submitting Pirsch.io, but there is a CORS error for OPTIONS https://db.buy-european.net/api/collections/suggestions/reco... -> 403 CORS missing allowed origin...

I don't think anyone review these. How come Ducati is an alternative to Xiaomi?

Finally found the European alternative to Salesforce: SAP!

Proud european here, I like the idea! Would be nice to have it translated in all european languages, and btw clicking on german doesn't work...

These days the latest trend is to vibe code Adobe and MS alternatives from scratch and they are pretty good, Europe has a golden chance of dropping US software vendors.

Apparently EU bureaucrats think that the MS office alternatives are shitty[0], well they can just tell an AI agent whats shitty and get it fixed.

Programming languages and OS alternatives still missing from the list.

Do all the Europeans not know that HN is an American website?

Why are you guys still here?

I used mailbox.org briefly but was very heavily disappointed in it. Canceled my account and moved to Proton.

How do Americans feel about these regionalistic sentiment based posts here on hacker news?. Trump kind helped accelerate this trend but is this generally good for the collective west?

European alternatives - mostly shit produced in China with different badge when it comes to physical stuff. The rest is digital services with userbase smaller than the dev team. It is actually good demonstration how pathetic our production capacity has become. And the industries where we actually punch quite well - Henkel, VSM, Tyrolit are missing.

And lets not with Coca Cola alternatives. It is the funniest joke of the year so far.
