  • duck.nvim - A duck that waddles around your code.
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Nov 2022
    Check them out here if you want a look.
  • Looking for dotfiles repo examples
    9 projects | /r/NixOS | 8 Nov 2022
    I don’t like digga myself, but you can check out some of my earlier revisions of my configuration when I was using it. This is the repo.
  • NixOS and Neovim plugins
    3 projects | /r/NixOS | 24 Oct 2022
    Check out my Neovim configuration; I think I’ve found a pretty good way of managing all my plugins, LSP servers, and Treesitter parsers declaratively so I don’t have to pull binaries using mason or the provided Treesitter commands.
  • Best way to manage multiple home manager configs for both NixOS and non-NixOS systems using flakes?
    8 projects | /r/NixOS | 2 Oct 2022
    Inside of your common home.nix file, you can use functions like lib.mkIf and/or lib.mkMerge to conditionally import other files/modules or define options based on the system using attributes like pkgs.stdenv.isLinux; I do this pretty extensively in my own home-manager configurations, check out my kitty configuration for an example. I’m on my phone so I can’t really write any code without it taking a long time, also Reddit formatting sucks.
