Discovery

Nexium is Emberly's team collaboration and talent discovery layer. It sits alongside your regular Emberly account and adds a public identity, team workspaces, and a way to connect with other builders.

The Three Parts of Nexium

1. Discovery Profile

Your Discovery profile is a public page that shows your skills, portfolio links (called signals), and availability status. It is separate from your regular Emberly profile — think of it as a professional card you choose to publish.

You control what appears on it:

• Bio — a short description of who you are
• Skills — technology and tool tags with experience levels (beginner, intermediate, expert)
• Signals — links to GitHub repos, live projects, videos, or any URL that shows your work
• Availability — whether you are open to freelance, full-time, or other opportunities

You can create, update, or delete your Discovery profile at any time from Dashboard → Discovery → Profile.

2. Squads

A squad is a named team with shared storage, shared custom domains, and role-based access. Squads are the collaboration unit in Nexium — they are where actual work happens.

When you create a squad:

• Members can upload files that belong to the squad (not their personal account)
• The squad gets its own upload token for integrations like ShareX
• You can add custom domains for squad file URLs
• Members have roles: Owner, Member or Observer

See Squads for a detailed guide.

3. Opportunities

Opportunities are public listings you post to find collaborators. They can be:

• Full-time or part-time roles
• Contract work
• Collaboration on a project
• Bounty: a specific task with a reward

Anyone with a Discovery profile can browse and apply to opportunities. As a poster, you review applications and contact applicants directly.

How It All Fits Together

Emberly Account
    └─ Files, domains, URLs (your personal account)
    └─ Discovery Profile (optional public identity)
           └─ Skills + Signals
           └─ Opportunities you post
    └─ Squads (optional team workspace)
           └─ Shared storage + domains
           └─ Members with roles
           └─ Squad upload token

You do not need a Discovery profile to use squads, and you do not need a squad to have a Discovery profile. They are independent but complementary.
