    Haha, I wasn't ready to post this to HN. It's not anywhere close to ready. But thank you aghuang. (I want to post this again when we clear Beta phase.)

    These are still super early alpha. All MIT/Apache licensed. No telemetry.

    I'm going to try to drive these to 100% parity but it's going to take a minute. And I'll need lots of help. (Anyone want to join me? I'll pay stipends and bug bounties.)

    I'm going to do Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and Solidworks too. Probably a lot of stuff to collapse.

    It's not just SaaSocalypse. Everything can be open source multiplatform Rust now.

    Party like it's 1999 and the Internet / tech scene belongs to us again. We can literally deenshittify the world without breaking a sweat.

      This project looks extremely ambitious. Are these applications coded by AI by any chance? I can't find any easy documentation about the development process.

        They are clearly all vibe-coded
