Open Ballastra

For builders

Built for the people who build things.

Developers, makers and project teams get a Nexus shaped like the work, voice for pairing, a place to ship updates and Aeros to automate the rest.

Open Ballastra Moving an existing community?

01

Shaped like your project

Announcements for releases, Community for users, a members-only Development category for the team. One Nexus instead of three tools.

  • Release notes in Announcements
  • Members-only #code
  • Feedback in the open
How Nexuses work
A Ballastra Nexus: categories and Spaces in the sidebar, an announcement open in #changelog, and the member list.

02

Pair without scheduling

Leave a coworking Voice Space open. Join to pair on a bug, share your screen, and get back to the conversation without hanging up.

  • Screen sharing in voice
  • Push-to-talk and noise suppression
  • Call bar while you browse
Voice & video
A live Ballastra voice Space with a participant, mute status and call controls.

03

Launch-day coordination

Group chats with replies, polls, files and pins keep a launch in one thread instead of scattered across DMs.

  • Polls and file attachments
  • Edits and pinned plans
  • Optional E2EE for 1:1 DMs
Messaging
A Ballastra conversation in #changelog with formatted text, mentions and the message composer.

04

Automate with Aeros

Build an Aero in the Developer Portal, install it into your Nexus and give it exactly the permissions it needs — never more.

  • Real-time events over the gateway
  • Managed role per install
  • Hashed, show-once tokens
