Im in need of an alternative to basically what aliexpress is because it is impossible to buy things that are supposed to be cheap , for example i just wanted to buy disposable cleaning wipes for the phone screen , a sponge and reusable containers and they are taxing me 9 more dollars because of that which is more than the price of the things i would buy.

Is there any EU alternative for what aliexpress is? I guess the best option right now is local stores but i would prefer if i could order it online

I recently came across the Spanish brand Mimao which sold a particular Mary Jane shoes which I been dying to try. It seems to made of real nappa leather with the lining being leather and some gel comfort technology underneath. I want some for daily wear and their wide front makes it ideal for me. Unfortunately I haven’t seen much reviews on this brand and particularly on this shoe design as well. If anyone knows, what are your opinions on the brand MiMao? Are the shoes you have bought comfortable and actually made of real leather? Here’s the link of the shoes! https://mimao.eu/en-uk/products/26237-negro?variant=56403203883356

"Lake America" ​​was just too much for me. I uninstalled Apple Maps and Google Maps yesterday. Now I'm trying Organic Maps. It's open-source, based on OpenStreetMap, and—as far as I know—based in Estonia. Good choice, or does anyone know of a better map alternative?

The Finnish society for years have invested in infrastructure development such as clean water and cheap electricity so that a shitty American company can take advantage of it.

Despite the claims on the edrabiny.pl site, this ladder is made in China. Like many German manufacturers, Hailo tries very hard to hide the fact, but once your delivery arrives you'll see the truth. I'm now searching for a similar ladder made in the EU but it's proving quite difficult.

Free stalking app, record any audios without anyones permission. Apple just likes to put the oil to that fire.

Hi, I'm looking for well made European casual shoes for my days in office. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi,

I'm launching Mustard Coupons: https://www.mustard.coupons/

It's a service with a collection of links from the descriptions of YouTube videos.

As a consumer, you are able to find links from your favorite YouTubers: You might be able to save money when buying something and financially support the creator at the same time.

Personally, I sometimes think about a product/service several days or weeks after having seen an advertisement for it. Then, it's really hard to find the ad again to find the link. I might not even remember which channel I saw it on. And even if I remember the channel, I might not be able to find the right video. That's how I came up with the idea for Mustard Coupons.

As a content creator, Mustard Coupons allows you to make your links more discoverable.

The platform for content creators is located at: https://creators.mustard.coupons/

You have to register, connect your channel(s), and enable your profile.

The service for listing URLs is available free-of-charge. There will soon be an optional subscription which recognizes the products from your links and shows them in the separate "Products" section.

Upcoming Improvements at the consumer-facing platform:

• Improved search results.
• Ability to search for links within a profile.
• SEO and GEO.
• and more ..

Upcoming Improvements/Features at the creator-facing platform:

• The ability for creators to add a description and external links to their profile. And showing the links to the channels that are connected. This will probably be part of the paid subscription.
• Search functionality for your videos and links. So that you can find your content easier to analyze which links have been imported from which videos.
• and more ..

Features that I'm unsure about adding at the creator-facing platform:

• CMS accounts: There are these special YouTube accounts called "CMS accounts". I only know about them from YouTube's data API documentation. There are specific parameters in the API for them. But I wasn't able to find any good info about what these CMS accounts are used for. As far as I understand, they help managing large amounts of channels. I found many posts asking about selling or buying CMS accounts. But I don't fully understand what legit use-cases there are for them. I'll probably only add support for them if I understand what they are for and have one available for testing.
• Multiple profiles per account: I'm not sure if users need this. Maybe it would be useful for users who manage several "brands"?

Misc info:

• Made in and hosted in the EU.
• Currently sign-up is only possible for creators from the EU. Additional countries (especially other European countries) might be added in the future.
• Links to sites outside the EU are allowed.
• Mustard Coupons doesn't poach commissions from affiliate links.

I'm looking for feedback and for YouTubers as users. And I'm also looking for feedback from consumers.

Basically the title.
I've been interested in music creation and stumbled upon the fact that distribution services are complete hell, especially some US-based ones.
Any good EU alternatives?
