Nexus overview

Nexus is a solo-founded digital whiteboard application designed for visual brainstorming and organization. Built with a modern MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and TypeScript, it provides an intuitive, infinite canvas inspired by tools like Milanote, following a frontend-first, iterative development strategy.

Key features are already live, including a robust user authentication system with Google OAuth, full cloud persistence for all canvases with an auto-save feature, and advanced canvas tools. The current priority is a full responsiveness overhaul to ensure a seamless mobile experience, with real-time collaboration planned as the next major feature release.
