I asked on Mastodon a few minutes ago if Alternativeto.net was going to add any country fields or badges in order to make it easier for users like us to choose and already got this answer! Feel free to go boost favorite/boost their answer here.

    AlternativeTo has been my go to for years on finding open source alternatives to whatever program I am interested in.

    Love to see stuff like this, thanks for sharing! :)

      • Kaspersky
      • Yandex
      • ABBYY
      • 1C Company
      • vKontakte
      • (probably) Telegram

      And if you want to be extreme:

      • Parallels (American company, Russian founder)
      • JetBrains (Dutch company, Russian founders)

      There you go, the full list: there are immense sanctions and Russia is cutoff of the banking system. Unless you are in Switzerland, I guess…Actually, that’s a badge I would ask for: “non-Swiss”.

      I don’t think there’s too many Russian products available compared to the rest

      Not everyone, including me, has the skills to compile code to verify it is safe. Nor the patience to verify all dependencies.

          It is one reassurance that we may have common incentives and especially that we fall under common laws. Plus, it is interesting to me to benefit those who may be supporting my same system with their taxes etc. if they sell a commercial product.

    I hope that it makes its way here even though I know it won’t. American made products have been shitty for years anyways so I really don’t mind having an excuse to buy things that are getting money out of the US.
