Death Legion Team is an open source group from Sri Lanka, operating as DEMO × HEXA. Six projects. Not trying to build an ecosystem or a brand — just things we kept wishing someone had already made. Everything is MIT, everything is built in public, and none of it costs you anything.
We shipped apps with every popular framework and hit the same walls every time. Eventually we stopped complaining and started building. That single decision is the whole origin story — the mobile side started because we got tired of React Native and Expo lying to our faces about instant hot reload and offline-first. The AI side started because every agent framework assumed you had a cloud budget and were fine with your data leaving the machine.
The infra side came next, for the same reason. Deploying things shouldn't require three cloud accounts and a devops person. Setting up storage shouldn't take longer than writing the feature. So DEATHBASE and legion-cloud exist — the boring-but-critical layer, done without the ceremony.
The name for it came naturally: DEMO × HEXA. It named the era on the original deathlegion.netlify.app site, and it names the era here. Today the work is 66 public repositories on GitHub — agents, kernels, esolangs — plus the documented portfolio and the live platforms. This site maps all of it, and every claim on it is checked against what's actually live.

Six tools. Built because we needed them. The repos that are still public are MIT — the dossier pages say exactly which.
Everything in public. If you can see the work, you can judge the work. We prefer that.
The era, by the numbers
How we actually work. Not a philosophy — just what's held true across all six projects.
None of the six projects started from a product brief. They started from a genuine annoyance — something we kept working around until working around it stopped making sense. Irritation is a better filter than market research, and it shows in the feature lists: no enterprise tiers, no lock-in, no ceremony.
All six repos are open from day one. Not "open source eventually" — open now, with messy commits, half-finished features and honest changelogs. If you can see the work, you can judge the work. We prefer that over a polished landing page with nothing behind it.
Every project ships under the MIT license. Fork them, modify them, use them commercially — there is no "community edition" coming later and no quiet license change. MIT means MIT. If we ever stop maintaining a tool, the license still holds forever.
legionnative publishes performance targets and measures against them in public. DEATHBASE shows you the live console instead of screenshots. LEGIONHERCULES gives you three commands to verify the "100% local" claim yourself. Numbers over adjectives, everywhere.
The projects live on GitHub and Cloudflare Pages. The recruitment platform lives on apply.deathlegion.site — the subdomain every applicant eventually touches, running the application pipeline, the member directory and the OAuth2 identity provider behind every DL ID. A 9-node network map, all of it documented and SEO-indexed on this site.
