Re:Show HN: European alternatives to Google, Apple, Dropbox ... by Remi_Etien on Friday April 03, 2026 @06:25AM (#47625002)
Interesting list. One thing I've noticed while talking to founders across Europe: the adoption gap often isn't about features but discoverability and network effects. A European tool can be technically superior but loses because everyone's already on the US alternative. For early validation work especially, the switching cost rarely justifies the gains unless there's a specific regulatory or latency requirement. Worth considering what actual lock-in exists vs perceived lock-in.
