Fantastic company - been using them for years. We also host the website with Hetzner.

Good idea!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Good to know. :)

That’s the problem with “the winner takes it all” on the Internet. Which European alternative would you suggest instead?

Thank you! We already had Organic Maps in the database but I will add OsmAnd and Magic Earth now.

Due to negative feedback in version 1.0 I removed it from the infographic. You can still find it in the database itself.

Production in EU, Production in Europe, Production outside Europe could be factors for example and is what I referred to as “European commitment” prior. “European address” would be minimum presence in Europe but formally incorporated there.

We learn and iterate. Thanks for the feedback! We still list Spotify in the database but plan to include quality factors in the (probably not so near) future as well to better differentiate between “European address” and “European commitment”.

Definitely! Already added Tuta to the database.

Good call. We will keep on iterating. :)

I’m sure at some point another user (with a more established account) will try to post it there and we will see what happens.

No reason given. Might have been due to the fact the account was new? Not sure. I even messaged the mod team beforehand to ask for permission but did not receive a reply, so just posted and after around 20 upvotes the post was gone.

My post about our database website was deleted too. Guess it’s a more closed community focusing on their database.

Thanks for the info - it’s now removed!

https://www.here.com/ They offer commercial services/APIs, primarily for automakers.

Fantastic idea! Technically we could add this quickly. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure we will not be able to editorially work on that within the next couple of weeks where we focus on expanding the database itself but we should definitely consider this! Maybe we can get some people on board who help with the research for this.

Just added the “Submit suggestion” feature. Thanks again for your feedback!

We are still evaluating how to assess that as the company Serif is still located in the UK AFAIK which means that they work under European legislation. If they should start to shift everything to Australia that would change but right now we check for the company address and not for the owners of that company - definitely up for discussion what’s better.

I just think it’s hard to address that as for example publicly traded companies are usually owned by several investors and might even be hold in majority by foreign investors - but the company itself has to follow regional laws which is what we focus on.
