IsThisFromEU

A community-driven initiative to catalog brands and their European alternatives. This project aims to help consumers make informed choices by providing information about brands and suggesting European alternatives.

About the Project

This is currently a prototype built with static data stored in YAML files. The project's future development will depend on community interest and feedback. If the community finds it valuable, we may evolve towards a more robust solution with a proper database and/or CMS. We could even publish it as a mobile app!

Technology Stack

  • Framework: Nuxt.js (A Vue.js meta-framework)
  • Hosting: Hetzner (Germany)
  • Domain: OVH (France)
  • Version Control: GitHub

Note: While the project is currently hosted on GitHub (a non-European platform), this choice was made to maximize community participation. We are open to discussing alternative hosting solutions in the future.
