That’s a lot of words to pretend that you don’t know what the European Union is
he clearly meant that all the servers and computers were manufactured in his non-EU village in Bulgaria I for one want Pravetz cloud
Hi HN, I built only-eu.eu, a curated bilingual (DE/EN) directory of European alternatives to common US software and services. Motivation: The CLOUD Act creates a structural difference between US and European cloud providers that's separate from GDPR. European companies can't be compelled by US federal courts to hand over data regardless of server location. For companies and individuals who care about this, finding ve…

Domain is registered 23 March 2026. This is not a real product, with zero effort put into it.
The domain registration date doesn’t tell anything about the amount of effort put in it. I usually register the domains of my side-projects only when I’m at 80% done; otherwise I would buy dozens of domains I would never use.
My opinion is therefore that this amount of effort is not nearly enough to hold our discussion here.

> registered on Porkbun LLC and hosted on Cloudflare, Inc And is built with Astro, which was created by an American, existed as an American company, and then was absorbed by Cloudflare.
Using Astro and giving your data to American companies are two entirely different things

On Cloudflare, I want to be precise because a few people raised this with different arguments. There are two separate problems. Cloudflare is a US company subject to the CLOUD Act. And sdoering is right that the __cf_bm cookie fires before any user interaction, which puts the "strictly technically necessary" exemption under the ePrivacy Directive in genuinely debatable territory. Both are real criticisms for a site that claims to care about European alternatives. I'm migrating to Bunny.net in the coming days. Slovenian company, no CLOUD Act exposure, no third-party bot management cookies. I should have started there. Thanks for that suggestion.
On AI assistance: yes, I used a LLM to help build this. I made every product decision, every category judgment, and every fact check. Ente Photos being Delaware-incorporated is my mistake, not the tooling. Whether you call that vibe coding is fair. Slop means no effort. I fixed 19 wrong prices today and pulled a product within the hour when someone caught a real error. outsidein: Posteo is listed with no affiliate relationship. If something else is missing, the suggest button works. The suggestion form has 67 submissions since this went up. I'll work through them over the next few days. If you submitted something, thank you.
The "Europe does it better" banner is staying. For the memes.
what was wrong with https://european-alternatives.eu/ ?
I found it impossible to add a European project to it.
