  • himalaya

    CLI to manage emails

  • Take a look at Himalaya: https://github.com/soywod/himalaya

  • crane

    A Nix library for building cargo projects. Never build twice thanks to incremental artifact caching.

  • Take a look at Crane, though it is squarely aimed at non-beginners. If you want to submit whatever you're packaging to nixpkgs and not just for personal use, you can't use crane, though.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • I have previously packaged an OSS Rust utility in a nixpkgs PR here. The upstream functions such as buildRustPackage are documented in the Nixpkgs manual here.
