OccupySaaS — They laid us off. We're rebuilding their SaaS.

OccupySaaS is a protest movement in code: laid-off developers building clean-room, open-source, drop-in replacements for the SaaS giants. First up: ZeroAuthy (Auth0) and SalesCompel (Salesforce).

I don't mean the code, write all the code with AI, sure, but why is all the text AI? Someone wants to start a movement and they can't even write a basic one page about it?

How dedicated are they really if they can't say anything about it in their own words?

Replace your text editor with AI, why not, but don't replace your own thinking. That's when it becomes mindless slop instead of a tool to bring your own ideas to life faster.

Replacing a bad thing with a worse thing is a really bad idea.

A lot of people are vendor locked into stuff like AWS, and it will be great if these kinds of efforts start providing a migration path off of these services.

Is the idea to make 1-1 drop-in replacements for people who really want that exact shape?

No hate, just dont get why would I use their auth0 clone instead of say KeyCloak.
