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:

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

Software development, collaboration & hosting

+1 for codeberg. There's forgejo for self-hosting too (codeberg uses this, btw)

Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)

I love disroot but quick note: a lot of their services, like cloud, mail etc are unencrypted. I also advise not putting all your eggs in one basket.

VS Codium

I'd like to chime in here. There's not a lot of actually european editors, most are just FOSS globally.

But there's https://sublimetext.com/ in australia, which is NOT open source! But it exists.

There's also [more advanced] https://neovim.io/ and https://helix-editor.com/ which are ran in the CLI. I love both of these personally.

But VSCodium is a fine choice. I use it on windows since i don't like TUI apps there.

It's not FOSS, but the Jetbrains suite has a bunch of IDEs and now an editor and it's I think either a Czech or Polish company. Of course going from electron to Java isn't gonna make things any less bloated. But the specialized IDEs tend to provide slightly more tooling then just vs code and an LSP.

Ahh jetbrains, my guilty pleasure. So good but not OSS...

If it makes you feel any better, their core IDE (basically just IntelliJ) is open source. There are community editions of IntelliJ, Pycharm and now some kinda free-for-non-commercial-use license for the Rust one, as well as Rider and WebStorm.

It's the plugins that make up their other IDEs and the Ultimate versions that are not FOSS. Unfortunately, those plugins are pretty important.

They have 724 public repositories on Github, mostly with permissive open source licenses I think.

If you're going proprietary, Jetbrains is one of the better companies to do it with IMO.

Thanks for the heads up.

Good point.
