Hi. I thought about creating something like https://european-alternatives.eu/, but where the community can insert new things easily, and focused on hardware (previously mentioned webpage covers software only).

So we would have an accessible database of EU-made hardware controlled by an EU crowd.

Do you think this is a good idea to have something like that?

I quickly created a webpage for that and inserted a bunch of the stuff on it -> https://artemkakun.github.io/eu-hardware/ (hosted on US-controlled software, ironically).

You can easily add a new piece of hardware here -> https://github.com/ArtemkaKun/eu-hardware Just add a new .md file to the /content folder, name it after a piece of hardware you want to add, and copy-paste the structure from any other file in that folder. Then open a Pull Request so I can check it and add your changes to the main webpage. If you are unfamiliar with GitHub - just ask ChatGPT (or better Mistral Le Chat) for help.

I just created that webpage in 1 hour, I guess, to only check if this is something people find useful. If yes - I can add more features/better webpage and add more admins who can approve new changes. If no - I will just remove it.

Tell me what you think in the comments.

So we got tech pretty much covered. Both links are already mentioned in the "Where to start".

Maybe, it is still a good idea to ask this community for more inputs on both repositories.

Cool, I didn't read that page and now find even more cool stuff like an extension for a browser. Appreciated.
