About the project
Nebula started as a Discord clone and then deliberately stopped being one: servers, channels, voice and moderation are all there, but the shell around them was rebuilt from a blank page.
It builds to a real installable Windows program (and macOS/Linux from the same source) and needs no cloud account — an Express + Socket.IO gateway boots inside the app on 127.0.0.1, and friends on the LAN can join the same servers.
Highlights
- Servers, categories, text / voice / announcement channels, invites with expiry
- Discord-flavoured markdown, replies, edits with history, pins and reactions
- Everything stored locally — no external service anywhere in the stack
