Hooray, it's Europe Day. The community suggested 75 European alternatives. The range surprised us.
May be seen as PROMOTIONAL CONTENT.
Today is May 9th. Europe Day.
A few weeks ago we added a suggest button to only-eu.eu.
75 suggestions came in.
If you suggested something on our site, THANK YOU!
What surprised us wasn't the number. It was the range. People suggested managed Kubernetes providers next to Dutch bikes from 1892. Encrypted photo backup next to organic textiles from the Black Forest. Peer-to-peer video calls next to Estonian e-bikes.
That tells us something. The awareness of what Europe builds goes far beyond SaaS. And it's growing.
We checked headquarters, ownership, and infrastructure for every single one. 51 made it. 24 didn't.
