WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I'm pretty ignorant about that stuff, but since Microsoft, Amazon and Google are "members" of that foundation, wouldn't they want to prevent someone from using their product names on crates.io for illegitimate purposes ? That could be an issue isn't it ?
It will be backed by the repo: https://github.com/staticgc/warlock. Its in work in progress.
FWIW we have a (pre) RFC for handling this specific use case: https://github.com/Manishearth/namespacing-rfc/ (prototype available at https://github.com/Manishearth/namespacing-rfc/issues/10 )
The nuance here is that I had a good faith intention of using that name to develop a usable crate for use in other projects. But did I really? How can you know? And even if I did have a good faith intention, who's to say that I'll follow through? I haven't followed through on nakala yet, although I'm working on it. I hope to stop "squatting" it some day. But maybe I won't. I dunno.

If anyone has actionable ideas, please consider workshopping them on https://internals.rust-lang.org or drafting an RFC.
