Show HN: Nexus – A social platform where your GitHub profile is your identity
tita-n Saturday, February 21, 2026
Hey HN,
I built Nexus because I kept asking why developers share their work on Twitter when GitHub already has everything that matters — contributions, repos, streaks, stack.
Nexus uses GitHub OAuth so your profile is built automatically. No bios to write, no follower games. Features so far: project showcases with repo previews, syntax-highlighted code snippets in the feed, threaded discussions, and a trending algorithm.
Just shipped the social feed (Phase 3). Very early, very few users. Looking for honest feedback from people who actually build things.
What would make you use this over just tweeting about your projects?
