cochranblock

The Anti-Founder Manifesto, in crate form.

crates.io docs.rs license cochranblock.org

If I can rebuild your stack in a single weekend, I'm going to remake it in Rust under the Unlicense. I'm raising the technical bar.

This crate is a manual, not a library. Adding it to your Cargo.toml doesn't pull in code or features. It exists so that:

  1. The name cochranblock is reserved by its rightful owner on crates.io.
  2. Anyone running cargo doc --open -p cochranblock (or visiting docs.rs/cochranblock) gets a directory of every public-domain Rust crate published by The Cochran Block, LLC.
  3. The Anti-Founder Manifesto is reachable through the Rust toolchain, not just through a website.

The doctrine

I rebuild venture-funded SaaS in a weekend, on a single laptop, with zero cloud bill. Then I release it under the Unlicense — full public domain — and tell you to take it home.

No moat. No rent. No sleazy salesman. No cofounder pretending it took a team of fifteen and Series B money to do what one operator did in 33 hours.

Read the full manifesto: cochranblock.org.

Receipts

Every crate below is on crates.io, released under the Unlicense, and dedicated to the public domain. Take, fork, embed, sublicense, sell, classify, white-label. No attribution required.

Crate Replaces / Purpose
runsible Ansible, reimagined in Rust. 14-crate workspace, ~10 ms cold start.
r8r n8n workflow engine ported to Rust. axum + Leptos/WASM canvas.
exopack Testing framework with Triple-Sims gates. (also a dependency of this crate)
oakilydokily Client waiver/resume site with interactive WASM mural.
illbethejudgeofthat Pro se custody case builder, email-to-PDF pipeline.
any-gpu Run AI inference on any GPU you already own.
deglaze Strip Glaze from AI-protected images for downstream analysis.
ghost-fabric Distributed mesh substrate.

Sibling Cochran Block projects also exist as binary tools and websites (cochranblock the corporate site, approuter the reverse proxy, whobelooking the visitor-intelligence platform, pocket-server, kova-engine the AI augment engine, and others). They will be added to this manual as they are versioned and uploaded.

Naming clarification

The crate name kova on crates.io is squatted by an unrelated party. The Cochran Block AI augment engine is published as kova-engine — that is the canonical name going forward.

Verifying the manual

use cochranblock::{verify, catalog};

fn main() {
    // Triple-Sims gate via exopack ensures the catalog is well-formed and
    // every entry is genuinely Unlicense.
    verify().expect("manual integrity");

    for receipt in catalog() {
        println!("{}: {}", receipt.crate_name, receipt.purpose);
    }
}

The crate ships an exopack-backed verification function so downstream auditors and federal acquisition reviewers can prove the public-domain doctrine programmatically.
