I saw some discussion about this elsewhere. Here is how the project describes itself:
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).
In 2011, Occupy Wall Street asked who the economy was really working for. In 2026 we’re asking the same question about the cloud. The tools every company runs on are now toll booths — and the people who built them were shown the door.
Two towers occupied.
Identity and CRM: the two subscriptions almost every company pays for and almost nobody loves. ZeroAuthy has shipped its first release candidate, SalesCompel is still early, and both welcome contributors today.
Who’s next?
Every category on this board is a monthly invoice somewhere. The movement picks the next target in public — bring a spec, a use case, or a grudge.
Absolute nightmare world where AI is the primary UX. My absolute least favorite part of AI is the natural language interface. Unintuitive as hell.
Well, I assume the ux will evolve. Lots of thing out there already. In one thing I tried, instead of text questions, I got multiple choice with radio buttons. Another had an extra panel for an html view.
I can see it being a big win for people who want essentially one UI for everything. If the AI can generate it, I can customize it to my preferred style and not have to be constantly trying to figure out what way this UI wants the data entered. I of course am talking mostly about data entry UIs. Data presentation would be a different matter.
