This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • nixos.fi

    NixOS netboot server configurations

  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • (Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • impermanence

    Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]

  • I would not call these projects unbelievable, but they are neat.

    - Opt-in state: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence and https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/

  • musnix

    Real-time audio in NixOS

  • - Ease of setting up a real-time audio: https://github.com/musnix/musnix

  • microvm.nix

    NixOS MicroVMs

  • - Generating virtual machines/installators from a configuration: https://github.com/astro/microvm.nix and https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators

  • mirpkgs

    Nix packages for reproducible MIR research

  • - A neat collection of music information retrieval packages in one place (and the ease of creating your own package registry): https://github.com/carlthome/mirpkgs

  • flake-compat

  • See https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat for prior art.

    The key point of Tvix _not_ having support for Flakes is to not make special snowflake evaluator features that are tied in with it.

  • 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.

  • nix-snapshotter

    Brings native understanding of Nix packages to containerd

  • Not super recent, but nix-snapshotter is one that I'd call awesome(but I'm also a k8s fanboi): https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter
