As per one of the creators over on Reddit:

"I’m Amber, one of the founders of Griply: a goal-setting app proudly built in the Netherlands by a small self-funded team of four.

We created Griply out of frustration with how scattered personal development tools were. One app for goals, another for tasks, another for habits… it just didn’t make sense. So we built one app that brings it all together.

A lot of our users have switched from their “regular” task manager because they wanted something more goal focused - not just for ticking off tasks - but for making real progress on what matters to them.

With Griply, you can:

• Set life goals and break them down into subgoals, habits & tasks

• Make goals measurable with goal metrics (money, distance, weight, etc.)

• Track your progress visually with charts

• Organize by life area, priority, or type

• Manage your daily tasks like any other task manager

• Add widgets for your goals, habits, and tasks to your home screen

• Use it across iOS, Mac, Windows & Web

We’re building this with a lot of passion. If you’re into productivity, self-improvement, or just love trying out European-made tools, we’d love for you to check it out. Any feedback is welcome."

An Android app is coming soon, and is in development. There's a signup on their website if you want to be notified when it's released.

Hi, quick question about the website, which is evolving quite fabulous.

The page is operated and sponsored by a German company Hanseatic Bits UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG .

I'm wondering: what the philosophy behind the project is? How is the funding taking place? What will happen to the crowd-sourced data and the joint effort? Don't get me wrong, but putting effort in a closed source database that belongs to a company, which then claims the copyright of said database (German Urheberrecht), is something I would like to discuss upfront.

Die weltweit größten Netzwerke stammen aus den USA. Sie binden Milliarden Nutzerinnen und Nutzer an sich und bekommen immer mehr. Denn da, wo alle sind, will man hin. Es fällt schwer, dieser Abhängigkeit zu entkommen, ist aber möglich.

Greetings, everyone - Europeans, Canadians, British, Mexicans, anyone fighting to strenghten their own economies and their allied nations.

Forgive me for the obvious statements, but saying them out loud is never too much, whether for reinforcing them, or for anyone who hasn't considered them fully yet.

The reason to say this is because despite talking a big game, and fully meaning it, the fact is that Trump's US quickly falls back when they see us get together and retailiate. See how he was playing the game of "tariff, no tariff" with Canada. And how Canada was mostly spared this round of tariffs. This was not motivated by acts of kindness towards Canadians. It's a strategic move to buy time. Canada did as the US asked and greatly invested in border security, reducing fentanyl crossings to near zero - Trump's dismissive verdict after that: "there's still huge amounts of fentanyl coming from Canada so they'll get tariffs". Heck, even the EU got a 20% tariff, which is already lower than I personally expected to see. There's no winning or appeasing, obviously.

Don't let this be a temporary fad, in any nation now affected by the US bullying. It's not about what is currently happening, but that it can even happen at all. And if it happened now, even if the US stopped and we all collectivelly just said "let bygones be bygones" and went to business as usual, this can happen again in the future. Later in your life, or with your kids, or their kids.

More than anything it's in great part due to a cultural mindset. Of thinking that one nation is above others and using that mentality to create havoc. Trump may be getting old, but there's a whole army of people with his mindset already lined up for when he's gone. And in a culture that encourages such a mindset in the people seeking power. And we Europeans should know very well, as we have our own grim past with such tendencies, and vowed to be better from then on.

It's true most of us have been very complacent with the US - why fix what's not broken, after all? We all (including the US) have benefitted for years from this alliance of shared interest. And many times we put our own independency in second place in favor of US influence, from not investing in our security because they also wanted to secure bases and power in Europe and other parts of the globe, to not developing our own tech more than needed, and widely adopting their tech and culture into our daily lives.

The ironic thing is with how much we've allowed ourselves to be at the mercy of another people's vote. We don't get a say in who runs the US, and yet we're affected nonetheless by their leadership decisions. Don't get complacent. Be willing to aid others, but still be independent enough to thrive when others threaten you.

We must all stand together. Buy locally, then nationally, then from your allies, avoid empowering economies who want to see yours fail. Elect leaders who reinforce your sovereignty.

This is not a fad, but a new way of life. Don't let anyone (be it Russia, or the US, or China, or anyone else) divide you from other genuine allies just because they're not hitting you as bad as everyone else at one given time - because that will not last against bullies. Stand strong.

Apologies for the long rant. With kindness from the small Azorean islands.

recable is handmade for you in Merseburg. We only produce what is in demand to avoid electrical waste. We source all individual parts from within a 500 km radius - with the exception of the plugs. Our CO₂ footprint is about half that of standard USB cables. You can read more about this here.

I am not related in any way with the company, and I am looking forward to it: the phone promises to be a good e-ink smartphone, with huge focus around conscious usage.

Just a quick reminder to those looking for web services alternatives based in EU - there's a quite an easy way of self-hosting it all by yourself and remain fairly independent of any 3rd party decisions to monetize, move or shut down services, or use your private data:

• The cheapest EU & Co based Virtual Private Server (VPS). Could cost you up to 5 bob/month.
• Linux OS of your choice (I'd personally recommend Debian since CentOS is now gone and its alternatives for servers are not well established yet). Free.
• ISPConfig hosting control panel. Free and somewhere EU based as I understand it. I've been using it on and off for about 15 years.
• Your own domain name. Try to avoid *.zip one for your email server... Let's say that will set you back by up to 20 bob/year.
• A step by step tutorial on how to set it all up. Encryption, spam filter, antivirus, email fetching and webmail all come free!
• (Optional) You probably will need to ask your VPS provider to open certain email ports for you.

That's it - you have your own little hosting set up, which you can use for your websites as well! And whatever else more advanced you may want to try in the future! Add a couple of your friends and relatives with their own domain names into it - and you may even be in profit!
