# EuroMakers
> Discover what Europe builds, back this week's launches and follow the makers behind them. Every product is checked before it goes live.
EuroMakers is the home of European software, in three parts:
- Discover: a directory of software made in Europe. Every product is checked before it goes live, and every listing shows where the product comes from.
- Launch: every week European makers show what they built, and community votes decide what rises.
- Follow: makers, updates and reviews.
Listing and verifying are free, and a listing can't be bought. Sponsored spots are always labelled and never change votes or rankings. Verified makers keep their own listings up to date.
Pages are HTML for people; the same URLs serve Markdown when the request sends `Accept: text/markdown`.
