Online · early daysWelcome to Nexus
An index of indie projects that both people and AI assistants can read. Every project is a node on a map, and an assistant can search it directly.
How AI assistants use itReal searches, run on the live index. The unnamed dots are just drawing.

Made to be found.
A launch day lasts a day. After that, an indie project is one link among millions.
More and more people ask an AI assistant instead of scrolling a feed, and the assistant can only suggest what it can read. Nexus gives every project one clean card (what it does, what it costs, which area it belongs to) in a form a person can browse and an assistant can query.
How a project gets on the map
Four steps, and no file to write by hand.
Paste your link
Type your site's address: Nexus reads the page and fills in the name and description for you.
Price and areas
Choose how it's priced and which areas it belongs to, from productivity to VR games.
Prove it's yours
Add one meta tag to your site. Every listing is then checked by hand before it goes live.
On the map, and in the answers
Your project becomes a node on the map, gets its own page and shows up when an assistant searches Nexus.
Built for AI assistants, not just for people.
Nexus has its own MCP server. Connect it to an assistant that supports MCP, like Claude, and it can search the index while it answers you.
MCP server address
https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcpsearch_projects
Finds verified projects by keywords, area, language or price. Generic words like "indie" or "app" are ignored.
list_categories
Lists the areas of the map, so the assistant knows where to look.
Readable everywhere
Every project has its own page with structured data, plus llms.txt and a sitemap for search engines and crawlers.
A map, not a feed.
The same node language as UluP Spaces: areas branch out from the center, projects hang off their area.
Search the map
Type a name or a need and the map takes you there.
Full screen
Open the map full screen and explore it, on a computer or with your fingers on a phone.
Only what’s there
Empty areas stay hidden, so you see real projects instead of empty boxes. A switch shows them all.
List view
Prefer a list? Filter projects by area and search them one by one.
A page for every project
What it does, what it costs, a link to its site and a box showing what an assistant sees.
Made for phones too
On touch screens the page scrolls normally and the map opens full screen when you want it.
Where it stands
Nexus has just started. Here is what is really there, and what is not yet.
Already working
Online and tested with a real assistant.
- Online at nexus.ulupstudio.com since 5 November 2026.
- Submit form with automatic prefill and meta tag verification.
- Map, list, project pages and MCP server, tested with a real assistant.
- The first listings are UluP Studio’s own products. Projects by other indie makers are next.
Planned
Not there yet.
- Other ways to verify a site without touching its HTML (a file or a DNS record).
- An idea for later: a small build-in-public tool that turns your dev log into short updates on your project’s page.
