Project mention: Multi-Worker Application on ARM Architecture | /r/dokku | 2023-06-11

NIx Language server, an incremental analysis assistent for writing in Nix.

Project mention: Show HN: Postgres Language Server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-06

This looks nice!
As someone interested in developing a client for it, I'm interested in couple of things: what are the features supported by it currently, the tweak-able configuration that can be passed to it and the various code action available. I like the way nil language server has documented it (https://github.com/oxalica/nil/tree/main/docs). Is there something equivalent available for this ?
