  • nix-bundle

    Bundle Nix derivations to run anywhere!

    • I believe this tool does: https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle

  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

    • Probably https://flatpak.org if anything is the solution. Nix can be a solution, but its a very complex package manager and just using nix-env barely touches on what it can do

  • 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-gui

    Use NixOS Without Coding

    • There is already a project called nix-gui, you can look into it at possibly help out.
