Welcome to No Limit Connect Home Page!
No Limit Connect is a Free And Open Source Social Network.
What is No Limit Connect (NLC)?
There are many good large scale social networks like facebook and linkedin etc. if you do not mind the constant spam and requests to connect and public scrutiny like facebook jail etc.
That is not the intent NLC. The intent of NLC is one or more network hosts.
The network host is just a listing service for active user hosts and how to connect to them (assuming you have sufficient permission to join that particular user host).
There is no separate applications for servers this is all in one, even the NoLimitConnect (NLC) network host is just this application running on a Ubuntu VPS but with network host enabled.
For example I was planning to setup a Group/Chatroom/Random Connect hosts for testing on an android tablet.
Now that I have a raspberry pi I plan to enable those hosts on it and enable a web cam and storyboard and serve some videos on the raspberry pi for permanent user host testing.
Currently there are few users and NLC still needs some polishing, however you can setup your own user host for you and your friends.
The biggest barrier right now is getting published so users can use NLC or setup NLC user hosts without building from source code.
No Limit Connect Design Goals
Privacy Matters
- No registration or Third Party services.
- No Log Files.
- Whenever possible use direct connections from Person to Person.
Network Scalability
- A Network Host should be able to handle millions of User Hosts.
- There are 3 types of User Hosts.
-- Group Host
-- Chat Room Host
-- Random Connection Host
- Users should be able to setup a User Host on practically any device including old cell phones with just internet service.
- Users should be able to setup a User Host with little or no technical knowledge.
- Completely separate networks should be able to be hosted and run on a single cell phone or other low power device.
- Optionally the network key used as part of the encryption can be changed for completely private networks.
This website source code is also open source

I am not a web programmer. I mostly learned how to build this website from this video.
