Clean-room, AI-assisted, open-source, drop-in replacements for the SaaS giants. Apache-2.0. Self-hosted. No per-seat tax.

OccupySaaS is protest movement written in code.

Story is simple. Many engineers got laid off in tech. But the SaaS platforms they built keep growing and keep charging per seat. So the same industry rent our own work back to us. This project is answer to that. Laid off engineers use AI and public documentation to rebuild those platforms as free open source drop-in replacements. One seat at a time.

Method is clean room. Public docs only, open standards, public SDK behaviour. No leaked code, no decompile, no confidential info from former employer. AI help with build, humans write spec and review every change. Compatible is proven by running vendors own public SDKs against the server. If your existing code dont work unchanged, it is not done.

Two early releases: ZeroAuthy ( Auth0 compatible identity server) and SalesCompel( Salesforce compatible CRM)

They are early, not production ready yet. But the goal is the point.

    which they are known to be able to regurgitate verbatim.

    there are only so many ways you can write certain functions, and the most tedious part of generic application programming is configuration, where mostly there is no room for improvement; either the code is verbose or only decipherable by an established code breaker. hence modern SE has evolved certain patterns which you will find common across a variety of codebases.
