Live video conferencing, with a Rust backend compiled to WebAssembly.
Per-seat licensing on tools like Zoom and Teams adds up fast for teams that host frequent calls. Worse, those platforms go down when you need them most and you have no control over it. The ask was a conferencing tool the team actually owned: no monthly seat fees, no outages outside their control, and no dependence on a third-party platform to stay in business.
Nexus is a fully self-hosted video conferencing platform that eliminates per-seat costs and third-party platform risk entirely. Calls connect directly between participants, no media server in the middle, so call quality is as good as the participants' connections, not a vendor's infrastructure. The team gets video, audio, screen sharing, in-meeting chat, emoji reactions, and host controls, all running on infrastructure they own and control.

Requirements & constraints
We started by scoping what 'ownership' actually meant for this client — self-hosted infrastructure, no third-party login, no vendor lock-in. Every technical decision flowed from those constraints.
Core conferencing experience
We built the full meeting experience: video and audio, screen sharing, a pre-join lobby with device selection, in-meeting chat, emoji reactions, and host controls with role transfer. Nothing missing from day one.
Reliability & handoff
Automatic reconnection means a dropped connection doesn't kill the meeting. We handed the team a fully documented, self-hosted platform they could run and maintain without depending on us.
We take on a handful of projects each quarter.
Let's see if we're the right fit.
we read every message. yes, actually.
