The EuroMakers Journal
European software,up close.
Deep dives into products made in Europe, stories from the makers behind them and guides you can use today.
Hugging Face is leaving with NVIDIA
The Hub is still a git host for three million models. NVIDIA is buying it for about $12.9 billion. Independent European software it is not. We took the listing down.
Proxmox VE 9.2 ships two ISOs
Same 9.2. Two installers. The ARM file is for NVIDIA Grace Hopper and Vera, not a Raspberry Pi. HA and live migration are in the ISO. You pay per occupied CPU socket for the enterprise repo and tickets.
offgen writes into your master
Upload a .potx. It follows PowerPoint inheritance and fills real placeholders. A .pptx comes back, usually under 15 seconds a slide. MCP is one org key in private preview. The price is a company proposal, not a seat.
Cryptomator mounts a vault the host cannot open
Desktop is free. You put a password on a folder in the cloud you already pay for. Cryptomator mounts a virtual drive. Files and filenames leave as AES-256. Hub brokers keys. It does not sell storage.
HansaChat can open the workspace
German company chat from €39 a workspace, not a seat. Threads, Google SSO, calls, Slack-compatible export. Hosted on IONOS. Not end-to-end: the operator can open the workspace. That is how the software is built.
Rankdelta's keys still say AstroSEO
Swiss SEO suite: GEO for ChatGPT traffic, a Site Explorer, a writer, from $29. They call the index an estimate. The FAQ sells open source you can self-host. There is no public repo. API keys still start with sk_astroseo_.
