BuyFromEU

I'm looking everywhere* but small fridges tend to have an energy rating of E or lower. Has anyone. come across a brand that manufactures them?

• Amazon.de, darty.fr, mediamarkt.de, and locally here in Ireland.

Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.

In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.

If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:

1. ⁠Buy as local for your city, region you can get (support small companies, mom & pop shops, farmers etc)
2. Buy generally Bulgarian stuff to support your own economy
3. Buy EU stuff to support EU economy
4. Buy Canada or any other ally nation stuff to support good relationship
5. Buy from USA, China etc (arguably buy Chinese before american)

Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

Hello,

I need to buy big mirrors (at least 65x150cm).

IKEA has two options that would satisfy my needs, Nissedal and Hovet but they are both produced in China.

I am well aware that IKEA is a European-owned company and that the current aims of this community are centered around ditching American products and brands but since the community is called BuyFromEU I thought maybe I could still give it a try.

So I would be happy about any recommendations on mirrors that are produced in the EU and are at least of these dimensions :D

This is an Austrian company that offers mobile payments with barcode/qr-code in shops in Austria and Germany, as well as in a few places in Italy and Luxembourg.

I use it since one year. It works fine, but it could definitely use more attention, so that more shops start to accept it. What are your thoughts on that?

Everyone of course knows Fentimans and Fritz-kola. But there is also Cockta from Slovenia and Kofola from Czechia. Does anyone else knows of local EU coca-cola alternatives that we might want to explore? And of course, where we can buy them online:

Cockta

Kofola

Strongbox a very well made macOS/iOS Keepass frontend was sold to Applause.

They don't have the best reputation and are seated in NYC.

Do you think an European Citizens' Initiative to ban Twitter in the EU would be beneficial and have a possibility of being successful?

I'm sorry if this is not a good community for this question. If not please point me to one.

After buying cordura wallets because most my wallets never lasted very long, i tried looking for an RFID-blocking cardwallet since those cordura ones were massively bulky

I ordered one from Ögon before i knew about this EU-movement. I must admit i'm really happy to see i got lucky and supported our southern neighbours in France.

I would like to mention Delivery Hero - German food delivery company. Glovo (a food delivery app) is part of the Delivery Hero group. Moreover, it looks like Delivery Hero's stock is at its bottom now which can make it an attractive option for investors.

Mooorrre!

So because there is debate about apps, which emerged as bar-code scanners but require google Gemini AI access...

Your typical barcode has three starting digits, which identify the country, where the manufacturer is licensed. This does not strictly require the product to be made there. It is a starting point though. and you can do this easily. All codes with the three starting digits between 001 and 139 are licensed in the US

Example:

400 -> Manufacturer had his barcode licensed in Germany

807 -> Manufacturer had his barcode licensed in Italy, San Marino or Vatican

EDIT: 509 -> Manufacturer had his barcode licensed in the UK despite US product.

082 -> Manufacturer had his barcode licensed in the US

Still use your common sense. For produce check the country of origin, as often produce is sold under the brand of the reseller. Typical US imports include soy-beans and nuts.

Verwechslungsgefahr!

if someone is compiling a list of relevant links, this could be added to it

Hello everyone! A few days ago I set up a small server on Revolt. It’s a Discord alternative, so there are different channels to chat, share products and ideas, ask questions, etc.

If anyone is interested in meeting and hanging out with like-minded folks, come say hi! There are currently 50 members. Lots of room to grow and develop into an active little community. Cheers

Adding reviews with political opinions might remove the review.

So it might be best to just rate it based on features if you write something, or just rate the apps without text at all.

In Germany it's 7,13 € per month.

I'm trying Lunatask. It's a one-man project, and the author is from the Czech Republic. The software looks interesting, complete, and visually appealing. It also stands out from a privacy perspective, offering end-to-end encryption.

Announcement: https://old.reddit.com/r/Startups_EU/comments/1j5njk2/europeanstartupseu/

Hey Europe!

We’ve launched a small initiative called european-startups.eu to bring together all European startups, brands, products, and initiatives in one place. We are a group of people working in different areas within the IT space, but all with a shared goal: to make European startups more visible.

While there are platforms like ProductHunt and other websites showcasing EU products and alternatives, we wanted to combine the best of both.

We've introduced a voting system where you can upvote projects you like. Each week, the featured projects will change, and the winners will be highlighted on our website. A newsletter will also be sent to subscribers with updates. No sponsorships, no shady practices. The only option we may consider is adding sponsors to a separate page or to the footer with a very minimal logo.

Additionally, we’re running our own AI locally, connected to DNB & VIES, to gather EU companies into one easy-to-navigate list.

We already got featured in some areas, so I hope our server is powerful enough to handle the traffic. We still have a lot to do.

PS Fun fact: we used 16-core 32gb from Hetzner to run all these fancy stuff. 😄
