nixpacks VS qmk_firmware

Example with Nixpacks:

We have an upcoming nixpacks builder that should work on ARM/ARM64, but there are issues in the nixpacks codebase I'm still trying to sort out before that lands.

I think this is something the writer of the article would be delighted to find: https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks

Yes, it builds the Dockerfile if it exists otherwise it uses nixpacks to create an image from source files for any language/framework. This image is then run using docker run .

I think this is true for Nix in the deployment/ops space, where debugging a broken build can be very frustrating. Language improvements are going to be less useful for app developers, the Flake learning curve is not going to get better with a type system.

Perhaps something like heroku buildpaks (https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks ?) would help devs get on the Nix train.

Hey! Any plans on integrating nixpacks? I'm one of the core maintainers & would love to help you out. No worries if not.

Uses NixPacks to build the images;

I agree that reduced finger movement is a crucial step in achieving typing efficiency. This is nicely solved by mod tap modifiers in QMK/ZMK[1] where key acts as a char when tapped and as a layer while pressed.

If you have a keyboard that runs QMK firmware[0] with the VIA[1] feature enabled[2], then there is a convenient testing app available from the same place you customize your keys [3].

I made a layout that I'm happy with. Spanish is my native language, so it has characters like the accents and 'ñ', but it's meant to be used for programming as well. Visual Studio uses a lot of Ctrl and Ctrl + Shift shortcuts, so I left them in the same place as the default Corne layout so I can press them both with my pinkie finger. Perhaps some of the ideas are useful to you.

Also, it would be possible to do this for the RP2040. However, it needs some work to get working. but for example: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/20999

Ok, it's an ST7735, not too different from the ST7789. You should be able to get running by looking at their files in the QMK repo and going from there. You should also check their resources page.

UPDATE: after fluffing around a little bit, I have manged to fix this code: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/lily58/keymaps/bongocat_wpm_responsive/keymap.c and flash it successfully - it seems not to be working correctly as the cat is only hanging there and does not respond to the wmp count. If anybody spots anything wrong in the code please let me know!(C is not my language but I am a programmer, I am gonna get at it again over the weekend if I have time left)
