I created this page so we can have a link to point people to. What this needs:

  • A short and memorable url.
  • A better design? It's now under my project and thus in the same design, but I would prefer it to be a separate thing.
  • The url in the logo.

Help is very welcome.

Had a similar idea with https://gohug.eu/

Main collection of resources starts here: https://gohug.eu/join/ - even added your guide a few days ago: https://gohug.eu/join/alternatives/

Domain name is a challenge I know well. At some point I just went with short to just get going.

Happy to contribute / join our efforts to build something great.

Sounds good. I'm pretty busy today, but I will get back to you asap.

A better URL could be buyfrom.eu which appears to be available.

[โ€“] bettertecheu@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That would have been a great url, but it is not available.

[โ€“] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

Oh yeah, it's up for auction for 1.5kโ‚ฌ I thought it was available because it doesn't resolve to anything...

Companies that do that really are just shit

Seems off not to use an EU domain.

[โ€“] lazycog@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

This is awesome, and I like that the dev of gohug.eu answered as well and offered to collaborate.

I'll have a chat about all of the recent links with the modteam and if we could link them in the sidebar.

I really like the concept of "better tech" as in better in multiple ways. Not only that it is european.

Better ways of handling tech related stuff.

The domain is already good imo.
