European alternatives to GitHub & VS Studio Marketplace (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 day ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

13 comments fedilink hide all child comments

On the database website, I didn't see any alternatives to GitHub, or even a category for that I could submit to.

"Software development, collaboration & hosting"?

Here are some:

Codeberg (Germany, non-profit)
Sourcehut (Netherlands)
Launchpad (UK, it's not just for Ubuntu stuff)
Radicle (Switzerland, peer-to-peer: no central host)
Free Software Foundation Europe, Gitea instance (non-profit)

Alternative to... lots of stuff: GitHub, Google, Gmail, Google Docs, Discord, Skype, Reddit, Twitter etc

Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)

Alternative to Microsoft VS Studio Marketplace (extensions for VS Studio IDE)

Open VSX (Belgium, non-profit)

Open source alternative to Microsoft VS Studio IDE, with Microsoft telemetry removed

VS Codium

I think Disroot survive on donations, and I get the impression that they would rather close than sell users' data. But you never know.

My next major software install will be the Nextcloud docker image, replacing so many data-sucking cloud services. Self-host at first, then maybe try a trusted provider (from whom my data would be protected).
