About Hub Nexus

Song Maker is made by Hub Nexus. It's free, with no ads and no account.

Hub Nexus (opens in a new tab) is a publishing platform where writers get paid. What it offers, and the problem each part solves:

• Pages anyone can improve, so pages don't go out of date: anyone who spots a mistake proposes the fix, and the page's maintainers vote on whether it goes live.
• Writing paid for by its readers, so it isn't copied for nothing: readers who rely on a page support it, and the money goes to the author and the people who improved it.
• Newsletters readers fund: publish a series and let your readers pay for it directly.
• Private workspaces for teams, so a team can show who approved a document: its documents in one place, with signed approvals.
