Hello everyone.

We are finally releasing a beta for the new goeuropean.org website.

You can start using it at https://beta.goeuropean.org.

Like I said in previous posts / comments, this initial release doesn't have much in terms of new features; most of the changes are only visible "backstage" (much easier for contributors to work on the data), but it should pack some quaity of life changes none the less.

There are multiple goals with this beta:

• Give users a preview of the new website.
• Give users a better experience than the original website. It should load faster and product submission works again.
• Help us gauge its performance and how much resources we actually need server-side.
• Help us find and fix bugs. We average 300 daily users so that would be 150x more eyes scrutinizing the thing.

All data contributed to the beta will carry over to the final release, when we finally replace the original website.

Our next big goals, beside fixing all the bugs:

• Translation into multiple European languages.
• An articles / guides section to help people migrate to european alternatives.

Alright, have at it folks.
