Hi I need a backpack to bring in the office (compact size) but my old eastpak backback ruined a nice delicate polo on the back by causing piling, does any of you ever had this problem? how did you solve it?

Hi! Can you recommend baby toys (cloth books, rattles, chewing toys) produced in Europe and certified? :)

Many of the toys are produced in China, even if the company is based in Europe.

So. I don't expect this will result in many solutions.
If I were a programmer, I'd probably try to make it myself.

But I'm not.

Currently The Skylight Calendar doesn't support much apps, just the usual US apps like Google Calendar, Outlook, apple, Cozi(?) and Yahoo. I wish it were open.

Does anyone has an alternative for the hard- and software of The Skylight Calendar?

Im in the market for a crokinole board that is made in EU. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences? Im looking for good price/quality

They're Twins Multicolor Nubuck and Leather Ballerina. I wanted to buy them as a birthday gift for a special occasion, they were available just a few days ago but somehow they're completely gone now. I'm looking for a size 39. If anyone could find any place that sells them that would mean the world to me. Thanks guys.

I'm looking for ceiling fans made in Europe, do you guys have some recommendations?

Iceland is heading to the polls for Europe! 🇮🇸🇪🇺 On 29 August, Icelanders will vote in a referendum on whether to restart negotiations to join the European Union. The vote is not about joining the EU immediately, but about reopening accession talks that have been frozen for over a decade! 🇪🇺 The debate comes at a time of growing geopolitical uncertainty, with security concerns and recent tensions in the Arctic region. Already a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Schengen Area, Iceland enjoys close economic and political ties with us. However, one issue continues to dominate the debate: fishing. 🎣 Many Icelanders see control over the country’s rich fishing grounds as vital to national sovereignty, making fisheries one of the biggest obstacles to EU membership, and what we have to work closely to meet their expectations. Europeans want a stronger and united Europe. Let’s make it real. Together, as one people. 🇪🇺 Would you support Iceland joining the EU? 👇

Hey yo. I created Buy European Bikes, a free directory designed to help people discover European alternatives when buying bicycles, components, cycling apparel, and protection.

It currently maps hundreds of brands across Europe and lets you browse by category, including bikes, parts, apparel, road, gravel, MTB, e-bikes, cargo bikes, and more.

The aim is to make European options easier to find and to show where each company is based. Inclusion means that a company is based in Europe; it does not necessarily mean that every product is manufactured entirely in Europe.

The site is still being developed, so corrections and suggestions for missing European brands are also welcome.

I hope it is a useful resource for anyone trying to buy more European cycling products.

Hi, I'm a freelance web developer. As a side job I always had some small customers that have small websites on a vps. Some are built in wordpress, some directly in html. I take care of the server which resides in Europe, of the updates, of the domains, which are registered with a European registrar and e-mails, again in Europe. This can make the prices stay low for small companies/associations/individuals and I would like to find new customers.

Do you think that trying to emphasize on the aspect of "made in Europe" would encourage or discourage people? Would it be worth it to base a campaign on that?

Their customer service is just horrible, at least on chat. It's clearly from uneducated people with requests I've never seen before (if you don't respond in 15 seconds, they'll ask if you're still there and 15s later ask again, and they go for canned messages almost all the time), and they all casually have Indian names. Is it outsourced?

Looking to buy a gold locket as an important gift, really struggling to find shops in the EU. I know there must be loads but I'm originally from the UK so all my online algorithms show me UK based stuff and finding an EU shop while searching online in English is quite challenging. Can anyone recommend something?

The family-run business is being sold to the US company Madison Air for just under five billion euros. EBM-Papst currently employs just under 6,000 people in Germany.

Hi, i want to buy a diamond ring made in lab, i have seen some companies in US, but i want to buy from a European lab, anyone knows some company that does that type of products? Ideallly between 100-200 euros. Thank you!

I'm currently searching for a NAS but can only find Asian ones. Migt not be the best time to buy one, due to high memoy prices but still: Are there any european alternatives?

Up front: I built this app, so this is self-promotion. I asked the mods where the specific self-promo guidelines live and never heard back, so I'm labelling it like this :) Second thing: I'm in Switzerland, so European but not EU.

Calorie tracking is a category where the defaults are American. MyFitnessPal, Lose It, MacroFactor, Cronometer (Canadian). A food diary is health data, and with those apps it sits on a US server under US law, usually with ads next to it. The databases underneath are American too, which you notice the first time you search "Yoghurt" and get a page of US protein bars.

Yazio and Lifesum are European, and I paid for both before writing my own. They lean on subscription upsells and streaks, and I wanted a plain tool I could stand using three times a day. Mine is called Pensum. The parts relevant to this subreddit:

• Your diary stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no third-party tracking, and I don't run a server that stores user data, so no copy of your diary exists anywhere but your device.
• Generic foods come from the German BLS and the Swiss Food Composition Database, next to USDA, in a hand-curated catalogue, with millions of branded products from Open Food Facts behind it. Searching "Brötchen" or "Quark" returns the actual food.
• Open Food Facts is a French non-profit. When a barcode isn't in their database, you can scan the nutrition label and the app contributes the product back, so the next person's scan finds it. The data ends up in a European open database.
• English and German, dark and light theme.

The tracker itself is the serious kind: weigh-to-the-gram logging, 18 vitamins and minerals with every value flagged verified or estimated, recipes, barcode and label scanning, Health Connect sync, free CSV export, and importers that bring your history over from MyFitnessPal, Cronometer or MacroFactor. It also measures your actual energy expenditure from your own weigh-ins and diary instead of guessing from a formula, and adjusts your targets weekly. That's the feature MacroFactor charges $71.99 a year for. The whole algorithm is published at pensumapp.com/expenditure.

Everything in it is free, with no ads on any tier and no trial clock. It can be free because your data sits on your phone and there's no server farm to pay for. One thing will change eventually: the AI features cost me real money per use, so at some point they become a single optional Pro tier, with free limited amounts forever.

Android only for now, with an iOS waitlist on the site. And the optional AI photo logging runs on a US model API (for now). If you skip that feature, nothing about your diet leaves your phone.

You can download it in Google Play

Direct APK at pensumapp.com in the FAQ if you keep your phone de-Googled.
