I'm a developer, not a marketer. So instead of pretending I have traction I don't, I'm going to be straight about where Nexus is.
What I built
Nexus is a social platform for developers built around GitHub identity. You sign in with GitHub and your profile is already done — contributions, repos, streaks, tech stack, all pulled automatically. No LinkedIn-style bios. No follower games. Just what you've actually built.
Features currently live:
- GitHub OAuth login
- Project showcases with repo previews, star counts, language badges
- Syntax-highlighted code snippets in the feed
- Threaded discussions with nested comments
- Trending feed
Why I built it
GitHub is where our work lives. But when we want to talk about that work, share it, get feedback — we go to Twitter or LinkedIn. That gap bothered me. Those platforms weren't built for developers. Nexus is.
Where I'm at
4 users. Not 4000. 4.
The product works. The community doesn't exist yet. That's the honest problem I'm trying to solve right now.
What I'm looking for
If you're a developer who shares projects online and you've ever felt like Twitter or LinkedIn wasn't quite right for it — try Nexus and tell me what's broken or missing.

I read every piece of feedback. What would actually make you use something like this?
