Group chat, file sharing and the basics shouldn’t sit behind a paywall. If Nexus is useful to you, it should simply work.
Nexus 7.0 // The owner & the dream
The person behind the workspace
I’m Brody. This is the dream I keep building.
I own TextNexus, and I build it with Brayden and Andrew — the layout, the chat, the file sharing, the parts that break at midnight and the fixes that follow.
It started because I wanted one room for the people I actually talk to: somewhere to swap files, think out loud, and keep a conversation going without an account on somebody else’s platform, and without a price at the door.
So I made it. It’s still being made.
What it’s all for
The dream
Nexus isn’t trying to be the next big platform. It’s trying to be a good room — and to stay one.
Yours, not a feed
No algorithm deciding who you should be talking to. Your conversations belong to the people in them, and to nobody else.
Small enough to understand
We’re still small enough that someone here can tell you what this stores and why, and I’d like to keep it that way as it grows.
Who builds it
The team
Four people, one room. Between us we cover the code, the decisions, the partnerships, and how Nexus looks from the outside.
Brody Williams
Owner & FounderThe workspace itself — the layout, the chat, the file sharing, and the fixes that happen after midnight.
Brayden Keppel
Co-ownerShares the calls on what Nexus becomes, and builds alongside Brody on what ships next.
Andrew Giambetti
Official Social Media Co.How Nexus looks from the outside — the announcements, the posts, and the videos on our channel.
Owen Lee
PartnershipsLooks after partnerships, including Lofin.dev, the partner behind our AI credits.
Why it helps
Why support Nexus
Nexus runs on donations and nothing else. Here’s what that pays for — and what it keeps from changing.
Free stays free
Group chat and file sharing stay open to anyone. Donations sit beside the product, never in front of it.
Nobody buys influence
No investor and no subscription steering what ships. A donation doesn’t unlock features or buy a vote — it keeps the lights on.
The bills are real
Hosting, the Firebase database, AI credits and domains arrive every month, whether or not anyone donates.
Small on purpose
Support buys the team time, not headcount, so Nexus stays a room you can still understand.
Our goal
Make Nexus pay for itself, one month at a time.
The first target is $20 a month: hosting, the Firebase database, AI credits and domains, covered by the people who actually use the room. No investor, no subscription, and nobody outside the four of us deciding what ships.
$0.00 per month

Reading the live figure from Liberapay…
Supporting it
Keep the door open
There’s no investor and no subscription behind Nexus — just the hosting, the database, and the AI credits that keep the assistant answering.
If you’d like to help, Liberapay is the cleanest way: a small recurring donation, cancelled whenever you want. Nothing about your access changes whether you give or not.
- Hosting and the Firebase database behind your chats
- AI credits through our Lofin.dev partnership
- Domains, images, and the rest of the small stuff
Donate through Liberapay
One-time or monthly, whatever’s comfortable. You can stop at any time.
Donations are handled entirely by Liberapay. I never see your card details.
Where it goes, in the open
Liberapay publishes what I actually receive each week, so you don’t have to take my word for it.
If the widget can’t load, you can see the same figures on my Liberapay profile.

Send a gratitude note
Thank you for keeping this place set.
Nexus is a small project, and every message, file and note of feedback makes the table fuller. This November, that’s the thing I’m most grateful for.
