#2Nice! We have made a Google Analytics alternative (getinsights.io) which is not linked there. Servers are still in the US unfortunately, although none of the data from the analytics is sent there. I'll create a PR to add it as an alternative if that's okay.

#4Nice. I was looking for an Email alternative based in a "non-eyes" country, but couldn't find anything except ProtonMail, which is fine from the privacy standpoint, but doesn't provide many features that one would expect from an Email provider.

#5For anyone that has email on a custom domain, what do you use instead of Google Calendar? Nextcloud?

#7I'm looking for a self-hosted service to host family photos that allows easy uploading (something that non-techies can use).
We are currently using Nextcloud, but the auto uploads often result in conflicts and Nextcloud in general runs very slowly on our small server.
Any ideas?

I personally sync calendars with my Android phone using Nextcloud and Davx5.

I don't think there is anything out there yet, there are upload/sync platforms like syncthing or nextcloud, and web based photo managers like PhotoPrism, but I haven't heard of anything completely integrated like google photos.
Syncthing is much better than nextcloud IMO, worth trying that out for photos.

#10I know HN shouldn’t be used to complain about the site, but at least can anyone explain the goal of scroll hijacking here?
Using the site on my iPhone is torture.
