Trying to replace all my US based big-tech choices for Canadian alternatives.

Main ones:

  • cloudflare (domain and site hosting)
  • bitwarden
  • discord (a true alternative, but not sure if there is one)

Willing to hear of other recommendations for daily software as well :)

    There’s not a lot, but if you’re willing to look at “Not American” rather than “Canadian” there’s a few.

    Daily software, I’ve been using Switzerland’s kSuite 's free tier for about a week, for emails and a Google Docs/Sheets replacement. It’s been fine so far.

      It looks very similar to the Google system. Did you find it easy and intuitive to switch over?

        I recently moved my email and it’s been really slick. I chose it because you can use a custom domain with 1 free user, but adding additional users is at the right price point for me. The phone app and webapp have been good, better than gmail is these days. And the transfer of emails from gmail was very easy.

        My one hiccup was starting out I had to validate and it took me a while to figure out how I could call an international number (I installed Fongo and watched a couple ads for some free credits)

        So far so good, though I haven’t really stressed it out with anything complicated yet. I write game books and things, but that’s been in Office 365 and (lately) LibreOffice.
