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.
It also refers to a repository that focuses on the IT staff https://github.com/uscne/Awesome-European-Tech
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.
