Just a log of “my transition” and what have works well.
I used Google Maps a lot. I have moved to https://mapy.com/ works surprisingly well for navigation and regular map need, not very strong in POI, but that was expected.
Google Analytics swapped for https://dashboard.simpleanalytics.com/ - should have done this way earlier, just an overall better product for my needs.
Exited Goodreads for https://app.thestorygraph.com/ - zero problems
ChatGPT/Gemini moved to https://chat.mistral.ai/ - this one is a slight downgrade on both functionality and results. (so I am still cheating a bit on this one)
Moved to here, PieFed from Reddit - not regrets.
I was using Brave and Duckduckgo/EcoSia from before. I would consider moving away from Brave for a similar private but European browser.
fun fact: mapy means “maps” in Czech. This software is created by seznam, Czech email provider and search engine (seznam.cz). Czechs default to this software (with seznam meaning “a list”). In the past I used to dislike it, but now, with me liking non US software, I find it as a great competitor to Google and other US based companies
