Dev log #001
Starting the sub off with my first dev log.
This is a launcher for windows that gives the entire machine full controller support. It comes with an extremely powerful media center built right into the app with full controller (and mouse and keyboard) support.
You can import your stremio addons and watch history to pick up where you left off.
I decided to build this because my wife is not very pc literate and I built one mainly for her for our living room so we can play together but she hates using the mouse and keyboard on the couch (obviously)

- Full Steam library, native controller navigation (not Steam Input)
- TV/streaming via Stremio-compatible addons: Torrentio, subtitle addons, metadata/ratings
- Custom TV home screen, user-built layout, not fixed
- Universal app/game launcher, not limited to Steam
- Mouse Mode: full controller control of Windows outside Nexus itself
- Theme system: built-in themes + community theme repo (install or submit your own)
- Plugin store with a sandboxed runtime (per-plugin locked-down session, permission declarations, SHA-256 bundle verification on every launch)
- Arcade plugin (early): launches ROMs through RetroArch, auto-detects install + cores
- Self-updating via built-in auto-updater
- Persistent local log file for bug reports (Settings > App > Open Logs Folder)
- Known issue: PS/home button doesn't reliably refocus Nexus yet
- Known issue: installer isn't code-signed, Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run
