I saw an attempt at Nix GUI configuration a while back and it seems kind of interesting, but I agree with one of the first comments on the announcement thread:
One good example of what Nix documentation could be is this guy's "concept art" of what Nix function documentation could look like. Just being able to generate JSON schemas for Nix functions somehow would be really cool. (The information is there, just hidden in either function argument specifiers { path, text } or in comments like in nixpkgs' lib/lists.nix.) Stuff like the manix doc searcher is really cool and desperately needed. When I get some free time I want to try autogenerating Nix function schemas from their declarations, or even autogenerating schemas for flakes and the like from their checking in C++.
