Not sure how to feel about this. Apart from Clickhouse, i feel like Yandex Maps are also slightly more readable than Google maps and other alternatives and the overall UI of their sites (and for example their e-mail) feels a bit more snappy and easy than that of Google's products. I'd even compare them to Google as a regional equivalent for the Russian speaking populace. Example of their maps of my country's capital, notice the double translations when zoomed out, such a neat idea, as well as the readable color scheme: https://yandex.ru/maps/11474/riga https://yandex.ru/maps/11474/riga Of course, they also have a native language equivalent: https://yandex.lv/maps/11474/riga https://yandex.lv/maps/11474/riga (not sure about the cultural implications of non-native names for places, but at the same time it's nice that people who struggle with certain names are helped out like that, for example, if i went to China/Japan/Taiwan/Korea i'd be delighted to have romanized or even machine translated names for places) Compare to Google Maps, especially the color and readability when zoomed out: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Riga https://www.google.com/maps/place/Riga And here's OpenStreetMap: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=riga https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=riga Of course, at the same time, personally i also enjoy the OSM project, host my own e-mail (forgoing both Google and Yandex, as well as other alternatives for example, for communicating with the government or other important things, having semi-throwaway e-mails with multiple providers for other purposes) and also realize some of the reasoning behind the sanctions. Here's hoping that good developers will be able to work on interesting problems and make the world a better place in whatever capacity they can in the future!
