@cooper_maruyama Congrats on launching Nixmac — nix-darwin that speaks plain English lowers the bar for a lot of people who bounced off Nix. We made you a free launch video for it (below), yours to download and re-use anywhere, no strings, and it is whitelabel. You can add it to your launch page in here; launches with video tend to do better than those without.
We built it with FoxPlug: paste your site and it turns what you just shipped into a launch video, images, GIFs and posts in about 30 seconds. This one is on us — make your own free at https://foxplug.com
Curious how it handles apps you download outside of Homebrew or the App Store, like random .dmg utilities, can Nixmac pick those up or do you have to manually add them to the config?
Tried it on my M2 and was surprised how the natural language description actually translated into clean nix code without me editing anything. The dry-run build before applying was a nice touch for someone who breaks their config weekly.
