Why you don't need flake-utils
Pinning can be done without flakes, be it manually or with codegen (nvfetcher)
-
Accessing contents of non-flake repo input to a flake?
You should instead use the regular fetchGit, fetchFromGitHub etc. fetchers in fairly vanilla code, and yes, that often means dealing with checksums in some form. If you truly just want to yeet the latest revision into place no matter what it is, there are ways to automate that still, such as berberman/nvfetcher, or Mic92/nix-update.
-
Will you move from Packer to Lazy ?
Yes, however one downside is that, afaik, the inputs are downloaded eagerly, not lazily. Alternatively there are things like nix-update and nvfetcher.

Nix VSCode Marketplace
The fetcher for this is https://github.com/berberman/nvfetcher. And if you want to simply map all the sources to extension packes, you could use http://github.com/divnix/devos-ext-lib and follow the readme. This is how I do it.

Nix flake of Vim/Neovim plugins, part of them are auto-generated from Awesome Neovim
It has support for passthru so you can expose description, homepage and other meta attributes. You (currently) can't directly pass a attribute set to the nix source because nvfetcher is using string interpolation to generate it, so only string is allowed. There is a tracking issue for this: github.com/berberman/nvfetcher/issues/40. For now, you can use mapAttrs sources (sources = import ./_sources/generated.nix { inherit (final) fetchurl fetchgit fetchFromGitHub; }) to generate the appropriate meta from passthru.

How easy would it be to make Nix packages similar to -git packages of the AUR?
or https://github.com/Mic92/nix-update
-
Beat way to update an outdated package?
You can also use https://github.com/Mic92/nix-update with a nixpkgs git clone.

NixOS 21.05 Released
I run [nix-update](https://github.com/Mic92/nix-update/) to update stuff. If you want to package something new, first identify the programming language/buildsystem the project is using and than look for a similar project in nixpkgs.
What are some alternatives?
flake-awesome-neovim-plugins - Nix flake of Awesome Neovim plugins
LazyVim - Neovim config for the lazy
openvsx - An open-source registry for VS Code extensions
nixos-generators - Collection of image builders [maintainer=@Lassulus]
devos-ext-lib - A kick ass library to dominate your Extensions (with DevOS).
flake-utils-plus - Use Nix flakes without any fluff.
nix-bundle - Bundle Nix derivations to run anywhere!
nixos-configuration
archbox - Easy to use Arch Linux chroot environment with some functionalities to integrate it with your existing Linux installation. Mirror of https://momodev.lemniskett.moe/lemniskett/archbox
commander-cli - A simple library I wrote to allow me to quickly and easily construct command line interfaces.
Home Manager using Nix - Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]
