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.

    While I applaud replacing SaaS with open standards and taking away power from the big tech companies this seems almost a parody:

    Method is clean room. … open standards … No leaked code … AI help with build

    doesn’t appear to be any of these things if AI is being used… 🤔

    The point to using AI is sending a message - using the big tech’s own tools to compete against them at the lightning pace the tech world moves.

    None of you acknowledge that these tasks would take years of work that AI is able to cut down to days. They arent blindly letting AI do everything. You dont seem to get how much time reverse engineering and decompiling takes and sound pretty entitled to others people’s labor. Unless you plan on paying them for month to years to build these from scratch or you are gonna do it yourself, maybe check yourself.

      No one here has decompiled a game to mod it and is just left staring at a fuckton of uncommented code. It may not be finding a needle but it is sorting the hay back into bales by hand.
