I’m sure there are projects being planned but I’m not aware of anything in specific.

This whole EU migration is still quite recent so people and Companies are using existing European tech, and then later might come up with their own projects.

I’m also onboard doing this and I’ve been doing what I can.

I use Proton mail with custom domain, and Proton pass and basically all Proton apps.

Got a 2nd hand phone where I flashed sailfish OS.

I have my own private cloud using Hetzner VPS and backed up everything from iCloud into my own cloud.

I’m also a software developer and will start soon working on some projects, but still need to come up with a plan.

For now I’m just migrating everything to existing European alternatives.

Any ideas for future projects just share here.

The reality is it’s incredibly difficult to cut ties with the Meta tech, as we got so used to it since the Facebook early days, then WhatsApp, then Instagram, etc.

There are alternatives but to convince half world to change is a huge task. Human Beings resist change by default and stick to something that works.

It’s also convenient because you can create an event and your friend are right there to be invited, so it’s an effortless task.

If you want an alternative you need to have something convenient, effortless and very easy to use.

Something like an app that lists events in your area, you select one event and then share it with your contacts. Or an app that shares integration with Facebook but does create invites outside Facebook.

There are plenty alternatives and ideas.

As a rule (at least for me), never never ever accept take home assignments or tasks that either require full control of your pc, or requires you to pull some sketchy repository from GitHub.

That’s one way to get infected with malware and potentially have your data stolen.

If you have to absolutely do this, do it on a VM.

But 99.99999% of the cases, there’s no need to install control software to a pc or having a 3rd party lib installed.

If a recruiting company requires this, then it’s a red flag.

You did well. You’ll find something soon.

Stay strong!
