We are building an open-source Salesforce

In plain words

This is an open-source alternative to Salesforce, launched in May 2024. It is designed for developers and organizations seeking a customizable customer relationship management system they can modify and self-host. The project is available on GitHub, allowing the developer community to contribute to its development. It targets users who want to reduce vendor lock-in and have full control over their CRM infrastructure.
