Inside Nodyx

See it in action.

Forum, real-time chat, voice channels, collaborative canvas, drag-and-drop homepage builder, widget store. All in one install, running on the demo right now.

nodyx.org · Homepage Builder

Nodyx homepage with drag-and-drop builder, 11 layout zones, widgets

Forum

Indexed. Searchable. Yours.

Full-text search, JSON-LD, canonical URLs. Your community knowledge becomes part of the open web again.

Real-time chat

Live, with everything you expect.

Replies, pins, link previews, reactions, mentions. P2P typing indicators arrive in < 5 ms via WebRTC DataChannels.

Voice channels

P2P. No central relay.

WebRTC mesh between peers. Audio never touches a third-party server. Rust STUN/TURN fallback for restrictive NATs.

NodyxCanvas

Whiteboard, in the voice channel.

CRDT Last-Write-Wins sync. 11 drawing tools. Voice-aware cursors. Board-scoped chat. Persistent PostgreSQL snapshots.

Nodyx : Widget Store with one-click .zip install

Widget Store + SDK

Extend your community without a build chain.

Drop a .zip file in the admin panel. The widget is live in seconds. Build your own with vanilla Custom Elements, no React, no Vue, no npm. Each widget is sandboxed in its own Shadow DOM.

11 layout zones .zip install Shadow DOM

Streamer Hub · Twitch

Run your whole live stream from your own server.

A native Twitch bridge, a Soundboard your viewers fill from chat with !ns, a multi-page mobile Stream Deck, and OBS browser-source overlays. No Streamlabs, no StreamElements, no monthly bots. Your OAuth tokens never leave your hardware.

The problem

Closed platforms ended up holding more conversations than the open web ever did.

Not by malice. By default. They were free, easy, and everyone was already there. But ten years of discussions, tutorials, and collective knowledge now sit behind login walls.

You never owned any of it.

All formats. One install.

Forum, real-time chat, voice channels, P2P canvas, homepage builder. No stitching five tools together. Everything lives on the hardware you control.

You own everything.

AGPL-3.0. Self-hosted on your hardware. No cloud account, no proprietary lock-in, no surprise terms-of-service update from a corner office.

Runs anywhere.

VPS, home server, Raspberry Pi behind your router. Native Rust P2P relay means no domain, no open ports, no Cloudflare account required.

The Gossip Protocol

A network that breathes.

Every Nodyx instance is its own sovereign node. They discover each other, share community metadata and events through a lightweight gossip protocol. No central server holds the network together. If one goes dark, the others keep talking.

No master

No instance is privileged. The directory is a courtesy, not a dependency.

Cross-search

Members of one instance can discover threads and events on any peer that opts in.

Resilient by design

If nodyx.org disappears tomorrow, the network keeps running on its members' hardware.

Real-time, by design

A chat that arrives before you blink.

WebRTC DataChannels between peers, Socket.IO as fallback. Typing indicators, reactions, link unfurls, replies, pins, all running on hardware you own.
