Original Summary

Hey everyone. I started building Nexus because I wanted a communication platform that gives users more freedom without locking so many customization features behind a subscription like Discord Nitro. I wanted things like animated profile pictures and banners and better screen sharing to be more accessible. I also wanted to explore better privacy controls and make account recovery and moderation appeals less frustrating while giving users more control over spam and unwanted messages. I am building this project using AI assisted development and vibe coding. It has been a challenging learning experience and I am excited to share the progress with you. Here is what I have completed so far. Voice calls and screen sharing are implemented. The server system and the main settings interface are in place. User profiles are implemented and most of the backend has been built. I have also implemented a full reporting system where every submitted report is reviewed. I have also built a custom animated emoji system that lets users add their own emojis and use them in conversations. I want people to have more freedom to express themselves and personalize their experience. I have also implemented a fully working user search system that allows people to find other users by their username or unique user ID. Every user has a unique username that cannot be claimed or used by anyone else. This makes it easier to find the right person and helps prevent username impersonation. Here is what I am currently working on. Voice rooms inside servers are getting close to completion. Encryption is also nearing completion and I am working toward making communication more secure and private. There are still many things I want to improve and add. I want to introduce more customization settings and better controls for unwanted messages and spam. One feature I want to add is an optional setting that allows only your friends to send you direct messages. You will be able to turn this option on or off depending on your preferences. I also want to keep improving account security and recovery and make moderation more transparent. Performance and user experience are important priorities as the project grows. My long term goal is to make Nexus open source so people can inspect the code and contribute to its development. I want the project to grow with feedback from the community rather than building everything in isolation. Nexus is still a work in progress and I know there is a lot left to do. I am not claiming it is ready to replace Discord yet. I want to keep building and testing it until it becomes something people genuinely enjoy using. I would love to hear your thoughts. What frustrates you the most about Discord. What features would make you consider trying a new communication platform. And what would you like to see in an open source alternative? If you have any ideas or suggestions for the project or think there is something I should improve or add please let me know. I would reall
