As others already said: keep up the great work! Ignore the nitpickers and haters.

Good point! Just in case your team hasn't thought of this yet, I'd like to share an idea.

On the pricing page of my hobby project (link in my bio), I wanted to show the prices of the "correct" country. But I wanted to ensure that I don't get to know the result if someone is just visiting.

But sending the user's IP address to a third party geolocation service is not legally possible without first asking for consent.

Here's my solution: the web page contacts a tiny endpoint on my server that returns the IPv4 address it sees, but doesn't log it. Then the country lookup happens client-side via a geo-IP database file that the web page has loaded into the browser cache earlier. As the web server itself also doesn't log, I don't have any data on visitors (unless they become customers).

In the next step, you could list all languages of servers in that country, starting with the most common ones spoken there (e.g. for Switzerland: DE, FR, IT, RM) & let them choose.

Mir fiel sofort https://civicrm.com ein, aber das ist vermutlich nicht das richtige für euch. Das kann zwar auch Mitgliedsverwaltung, aber der Fokus scheint mir eher auf Event-Organisation, Mailings und Mitgliedsportalen zu liegen. Zumindest wirkt es anhand der Feature-Liste und der "Success Stories" auf https://civicrm.com/success-stories so.

Die Argumente für digitale Souveränität und den Einsatz freier bzw. Open-Source-Software habe ich noch nie so prägnant formuliert gesehen wie hier.

Eins von zahlreichen Highlights: »You’re giving up control of your systems and your data – not only your ability to use it as you wish, but your ability to prevent others from abusing it in any way they wish. You simply have no idea how (…) it could be leveraged against you when the regime (political or corporate) to which Big Tech is beholden turns against you.«

Der Text richtet sich primär an zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen, aber ich finde als Denkanstoß ist das auch für alle anderen lesenswert, egal ob es um beruflichen oder privaten Softwareeinsatz geht.
