I wrote a simple guide so new maintainers can start helping your project more quickly! (and so you don’t need to write another direnv/nix installation guide)
Also I’ve made some shields!
(not sure why they are so small here, preview is alright. maybe some svg issues?)
I need some help with texts and scripts (maybe even translations )
Suggestions and comments on idea of popularizing this stack moreaggressively are highly appreciated as well)
I’m personally still waiting for flakes to become stable and documented before I recommend coworkers to start using Nix (in direnv).
The main issue I have with direnv and Nix without flakes is that locking and updating the lock is not trivial. Introducing people to non flakes leaves them wondering whether this is a good solution if it doesn’t have version locking. Some time later they have to migrate their projects to flakes. Both are less than ideal.
Actually, this guide tells to install nix-direnv, as it has support for flakes; and you can use flakes even on older Nix versions with https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat
