(Reposting @buyeuropean@feddit.org's post to federate sticky post and adding a bit of new info. Original post: https://feddit.uk/post/24960476)

We worked the last months on a new completely ad-free database for European products, brands, services and companies. A few days ago we released the site. The website focuses on usability with a simple search form and a clear structure. After the technical development we are now in the process of filling the database with content. The website is currently available in English and German!

You can also submit your own suggestions for European products, Non-European products that you try to find alternatives to, and categories that may be missing.

If you have any feedback, we would appreciate it. If you like it and want to share it, we appreciate that too. :)

Thanks in advance!

This is awesome!!

I'm in Canada, but support as many EU brands as I can. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to replace Garmin products down the road, and this website listed SIGMA as an alternative - made in Germany bike computers (and more)! I can't wait to explore this list further!

Hey thanks for sharing your experience, glad our Canadian friends are getting as much out of this as we do! :)

Thereโ€™s so many of these right now itโ€™s hard to actually keep track.

Insert relevant xkcd about standards except make it about making one website that gathers all of these websites together.

No but in all seriousness this is just a repost of an older post which was stickied here, but the "sticky" didn't federate across different instances.
