What is Hub Nexus (hubnx)? What it does, and which Nexus and Hub it is not

Hub Nexus — hubnx for short, found at hubnx.com — is a publishing platform. Its line is pages anyone can improve, paid for by readers. This page lists everything it offers, so that a reader, a writer or a team can see what it is for — and what it is not for — in one place. Prices and limits are as of 31 October 2026.

The names

• Hub Nexus — the name.
• hubnx — the short form: the web address and the handles, such as youtube.com/@hubnx.
• hubnx.com — the site: www.hubnx.com.

All three are the same platform. It has no connection to the companies listed at the end.

What it is, in four parts

What it solves

Pages

A page is an article — text, pictures, film, recordings or files — that anyone can improve.

• Every improvement is a change. Anyone can propose one. The page's maintainers review it, side by side or line by line, and vote; every version is kept, and any version can be read, compared with another, or restored (restoring opens an ordinary, reviewed change).
• Nothing is overwritten silently. A change publishes only over the version its text was written from; a save from another tab or device is merged, not lost; a draft is backed up in the browser.
• One press publishes a page you maintain alone. A page with several maintainers goes through review.
• The editor writes Markdown and shows it as it will read: headings, lists, tables (Tab and Enter move between cells, columns align, spreadsheets paste in), callouts, highlights, code, maths, diagrams, footnotes; a format bar over chosen words; focus and typewriter modes; a word goal; a menu on every block's handle; a slash menu that leads with Picture, video, audio or file.
• Files are first-class. Pictures, film and audio, recorded in the editor or uploaded; PDFs (paged, with a text layer), spreadsheets as sortable tables, EPUB books, 3D models; Word, PowerPoint and Excel files are converted to PDF. A film can give the page its cover image, from a frame you pick.
• Each page carries its licence, a topic or two from a list of 24, and its history under Changes.
• Readable in 16 languages, with the interface translated. A translation is a page of its own, joined to the others.
• Search finds words and meaning. On the results page, a search for an idea finds pages about it even when they use other words.
• Installable and readable offline. Add the site to a phone's home screen or install it from a desktop browser; pages you have read stay readable without a connection.
• Up for Grabs lists pages waiting for a writer: take one on, rewrite it in your own words, and it is yours to maintain and earn from.

Support and payouts

• Readers choose the amount, from $5, once or on repeat (weekly, monthly or yearly), by card through Stripe. Nothing is added to it.
• After Stripe's card fee, Hub Nexus keeps 10%. The rest goes to the people who made the page: two shares to the author, one to each contributor the author invites. The split, the timing and an example are on one page: Fees and payouts.
• Nobody is left out for being late. The share of someone who has not yet set up payouts is held for them for 90 days and sent the day they finish.
• Support is named only if the supporter chooses. A page shows how many people support it, never who, unless they agreed to be named.
• A page that leaves the public site stops charging its supporters at the end of the period they paid for, and each is told by email.
• Refunds and card disputes are handled in the open: a dispute takes the shares back, and pays them again if it is won.

Publications

• A publication is a curated, ordered list of pages, read like a book: a textbook, a weekly series, a reading list, a newsletter's archive. Its main page comes first, and a reader moves through it with a contents list, the arrow keys and a remembered place.
• Readers follow it by email. One email when a page is added; signed out, a double opt-in; signed in, one press. Curators see their followers, the issues sent and opened, and how many people support it.
• Readers support it monthly. Half goes to its curators equally, half to its published pages, each page's part shared by that page's maintainers.
• Curators work without a vote: they add, order and remove pages, with a note for readers; a removal can be undone.
• A publication can have its own web address, its own cover and recommendations.
• Publications lists every one.

Workspaces

A workspace is a team's own space. Its pages work like every other page — changes, review, every version kept — but only its members can read them: not in search, feeds, topic pages or the sitemap, to anyone outside.

• Four kinds of access: owner, administrator, member, guest (reads and comments).
• Every change reviewed, by each page's maintainers or by a group you name; nobody approves their own change. When someone leaves, their pending votes are handed to a current reviewer.
• Signed approvals for controlled documents: the approver picks review, approval or responsibility and enters a code emailed at that moment; the signature (name, meaning, time) is written first and never changed — built for work under 21 CFR Part 11 (the team still validates its own use).
• An audit log of every consequential act, append-only, downloadable as CSV.
• Sharing out, on purpose: a read link that ends on its own (1, 7 or 30 days), or one page shared with one named person as reader, commenter or proposer.
• Single sign-on with OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0, and SCIM provisioning, by verified email domain.
• A recognition budget that pays members each month by the same shares that split a page's earnings.
• Search inside the workspace, separate from public search; a result never mixes the two.
• Leaving is possible: an export of every page, version, change, comment and signature on request, and the owner can delete a workspace, with its files, for good.

Plans has the current numbers. A plan that ends deletes nothing: workspaces beyond the two oldest become read-only.

Apps

• Hub Nexus on your phone. It installs from the browser, with no store: it opens like an app, keeps the pages you have read for reading offline, and can notify you. How, on an iPhone, iPad or Android phone: Apps.
• Hub Nexus Write, the site's editor as a free app for Mac, Windows and Linux. Your pages are Markdown files in a folder you choose, readable in any Markdown program, their pictures and files beside them; no account until you publish, then one press sends a page to Hub Nexus. Each page keeps its history, any page is found by its words, pages open in tabs, export to PDF, HTML or Word, and it opens any .md file. Free for anyone, at work too. Coming soon — Apps has each system's download as it ships.
• Finger Trainer, a free tool from Hub Nexus: touch-typing practice that shows which finger presses each key, at typing.hubnx.com.

Beside the four parts

• Hub Nexus Weekly — one short issue a week of what changed. Follow it.
• Top 10 editions — each week the ten most-covered tech stories, the ten AI papers with the most upvotes, and ten money readings from US government data, in plain words: Tech, AI, Money.
• Guides with every screen, and answers for writers and teams: Guides, Answers.

Its strengths

1. Every change is reviewed and every version is kept — a page can be improved by strangers and still be trusted.
2. Readers pay the people who made the page, with the rules written on one page and a stated 10%.
3. Private means private. A workspace page is checked against membership on every request, and never reaches search or the sitemap.
4. Controlled documents without a quality suite: group approvers, signed approvals and an audit log, at a price per team.
5. Nothing public is behind a paywall. A supporter gives; a reader reads.
6. A real editor, not a form: Markdown with files, recordings, maths and diagrams.

What it is not

• Not a paywall. If you need paid-only posts, use a newsletter tool; how writers are paid, compared says when.
• Not a full quality management system. It carries documents and their approvals; it does not run training records, deviations or CAPA.
• Not a social network. There are likes, saves and follows, but no social feed.
• Not a hardware-token or biometric signing system. The second step is an emailed code, or your single sign-on.
