Show HN: Fleek – Own Your $Home
This is awesome! I utilize `nix` on Linux and Mac but I haven't "drank the kool-aid" so I utilize `nix profile` and a makefile:
https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile
Fleek basically replaces my hacked together work flow with something that I'd actually utilize on a daily basis! Nix shouldn't be an all or nothing thing and this is one step closer to making it a generally available set of technology.

Dotfiles Management
I see a lot of people mentioning home-manager / nix in the comments. I tried drinking the nix kool-aid and home-manager and all that was a little too much more me and landed on a hybrid approach:
https://github.com/sontek/homies
1. I use a `justfile` that calls `nix profile install ...` to install my packages, rather than using a nix configuration file. This allows me to use a standard package manager workflow rather than going "all in".
https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile#L24-L2...
2. I then use GNU Stow to install my dotfile configuration:
https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile#L93-L9...
I think this is a great middle ground where I can utilize `nix` as my package manager across Linux and Mac and have consistency while not having to learn the whole configuration language or change my workflow.
The other tools I use heavily in my environment:
- https://asdf-vm.com/: I find this better than installing python/node/etc from nix.
- https://github.com/casey/just: I use this as my command runner (similar to make but cleaner in my opinion)

Nix: An idea whose time has come
Yeah, I think its things like this that make it hard to adopt nix. All I want is a way to say "I want jq, kubectl, and terraform installed" and have it available globally. Not for specific projects or anything like that.
Right now I maintain a makefile that installs everything for me using `nix profile`:
https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile#L14-L2...
Which almost exactly like I want. Only issue is sometimes a new hash is generated (which I don't understand.. maybe a config update in the repos?) and the makefile can't run anymore:
error: packages '/nix/store/y65pp5hipid0fzxl1z7xjxdk4h9jwfw7-exa-0.10.1/bin/exa' and '/nix/store/gy0bqcs9mcan8af47wakdylhal67dpy4-exa-0.10.1/bin/exa' have the same priority 5; use 'nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER INSTALLED_PKGNAME' to change the priority of one of the conflicting packages (0 being the highest priority) -
