Nice initiative, but perhaps some effort should be spent in collaboration and communication between people working with a similar goal.

In the last few months we were presented with the following initiatives:

• https://european-alternatives.eu/
• https://www.goeuropean.org/
• https://eualternatives.directory/
• https://eutechmap.com/
• https://european-alternatives.cloud/

And now: https://bigswitch.eu/

I was curious how this is run, nice to see a clear explanation:

BigSwitch.eu is fully open-source. All data and code are hosted transparently on Codeberg. We encourage the community to contribute by submitting new tools, updating existing information, or improving the platform itself. Visit our Community Hub to learn how to get involved.

And

In the spirit of digital sovereignty, BigSwitch.eu is proudly hosted on Hetzner servers located in Finland.

The platform is developed and maintained by Sabrina Zaki, a Danish woman passionate about European tech independence.

Sounds good!

Looks nice and polished, but having a search function for alternatives is a bit optimistic when there‘s only 8 tools in total

Anybody know if there is a way to contact the creator through the Fediverse? Codeberg is down right now.

Can not run it through the WAVE web accessibility evaluation tool because of it being a react app. But the yellow accent color on light background seems to not have enough contrast. Makes it really hard to read.
