  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • dwm-flexipatch

    A dwm build with preprocessor directives to decide which patches to include during build time

    How easy is to configure and build suckless software like DWM? (more specifically, building DWM using flexipatch

  • nixpkgs-mozilla

    Mozilla overlay for Nixpkgs.

    4. I would suggest Mozilla's Rust overlay or fenix or similar instead of Rustup - that would be more of the "Nix-way" to acquire the toolchain and you can still manage multiple versions. Not sure what the Ruby equivalent is, I don't do Ruby.

  • 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.

  • fenix

    Rust toolchains and rust-analyzer nightly for Nix [maintainer=@figsoda] (by figsoda)

  • nixos-hardware

    A collection of NixOS modules covering hardware quirks.

    The generated hardware-configuration.nix is very basic, and essentially only captures partitions and a few other things. For more specific hardware, take a look at https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

  • rust-overlay

    Pure and reproducible nix overlay of binary distributed rust toolchains

    Many of us have moved to https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay over Mozilla's overlay.

  • 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.
