Local-first stream enhancement studio for creators who want more control without a cloud dashboard.

NEXIS is built for streamers who want to shape their overlays, connect real-time event sources, preview changes safely, and keep full control on their own machine.

The long-term goal is straightforward: let you assemble reusable widgets, route live event data into them, validate everything locally, and publish staged or live overlay outputs without turning your workflow into a pile of fragile manual steps.

• Local-first workflow with the application and its data under your control
• Stream-focused overlays, widgets, and data pipelines instead of generic dashboard tooling
• Staging and live output directions designed to keep experimentation separate from what is actually on stream
• Future-friendly plugin model for new widgets, data scrapers, and integrations

• Streamers who want more control over overlays and live data
• Technical creators who want reusable widget and pipeline building blocks
• Designers and producers who want to preview and refine stream presentation locally

• A main admin UI for configuring the project locally
• A product direction focused on widgets, overlays, data scrapers, retrievers, preview, staging, and live output
• A packaged executable as the primary end-user entrypoint
• Early-stage product status while the full overlay, staging, render, and data-flow workflow is still being built

Most users should use the bundled executable release rather than the Bun developer workflow.

The latest packaged release is available here:

• https://github.com/kane-thornwyrd/nexis/releases/latest

• Admin UI for local configuration and future onboarding flows
• Preview, staging, and live overlay output as the main publishing direction
• Data-driven widgets powered by scrapers, retrievers, and data flow resources
• Secure local-first runtime behavior, including local HTTPS bootstrap and future account-linking flows

• The product direction is now much clearer than the current implementation surface
• The admin UI is still early and the full overlay workflow is not finished yet
• Persistence, real-time sync, and final live/staging overlay routes are still in progress

• PRD.md for the product requirements and roadmap direction
• GLOSSARY.md for the current domain vocabulary
• CHANGELOG.md for significant project changes
• DEVELOPER_README.md for local development, build, and release workflow details
• CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution expectations and commit signoff requirements

If you want to run NEXIS through Bun, build binaries locally, or work on the codebase, use DEVELOPER_README.md for the developer-only workflow.

Contributions are welcome.

Sponsorship links will be added here.

Sponsors will be listed here once the project has active supporters.
