what was wrong with https://european-alternatives.eu/ ?
5 comments

OP doesnt earn money with that one.
I found it impossible to add a European project to it.
Bottom of the page:

"Any suggestions? Sign up for an account to suggest changes or new products."

(granted: what on earth do i need an account for, that can't be done with a form or an email?)

Have you tried? I have. I just checked: my product has been "Waiting for review" since July 15, 2025.

No wonder us Europeans get laughed at when it comes to speed and execution.

nothing wrong, everything right about a widespread push for alternative app stores. I mean come on!, users are fickle , and make choices in a new area based on factors that are unknown, except for one thing, bieng able to choose between almost indistinguishabe alternatives, and then promote and defend that choice with a ferocity that is mind boggling. Otherwise known as marketing 101.
was about to ask the same question :D
