We're excited to introduce a new community-driven project that officially launched on June 7, 2025: RCVendors.de – a public, independent directory of Research Chemicals vendors serving the German-speaking market and beyond.
The platform aims to provide a transparent overview of trusted vendors for legal research chemicals, making it easier for collectors, researchers, and informed consumers to discover reputable sources, explore vendor info, and stay updated on the RC scene.
🤝 Originated from the Reddit Community
The idea for RCVendors.de was born directly out of the subreddit r/researchchemicals_de, where users often seek recommendations for reliable RC shops.
Since naming vendors is not allowed on Reddit, these discussions were often removed or left unresolved – creating a clear need for an external, neutral solution.
Most of the listed vendors were suggested directly by the community. RCVendors.de is the result of that demand – and built with the scene in mind.
🌐 What Is RCVendors.de?
RCVendors.de is an independent, non-commercial RC vendor directory that provides basic, factual info on legal Research Chemicals shops. It does not rely on ads or ranking systems – the goal is neutrality and clarity.
➤ The full source code is 100% open source and available on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/pazdzewicz_apps/rcvendors.de
💚 Our Contribution at Remicals.de
As the team behind Remicals.de, we're proud to financially and technically support this project.
That includes not only hosting and domain costs, but also the active development, maintenance, and AI integration.
The vendor descriptions you see on RCVendors.de are automatically generated using OpenAI, ensuring that each vendor is presented in a neutral, consistent, and fact-based format.
🧾 Transparency & Fairness
As the initiators of the project, Remicals.de is currently listed first on the directory – this is clearly marked as part of our sponsorship.
However, we are not promoted differently than any other vendor. There are no ads, no scoring, and no downranking of others – because RCVendors.de is meant to be a neutral, fair resource for everyone in the scene.
📢 Also Active on Reddit
Both RCVendors.de and Remicals.de have their own subreddits for updates, discussions, and feedback:
