Would you like nix4gnome

Help

Hi everyone, I’m the author of nix4vscode. I’d like to ask if anyone has a need for nix4gnome, which is for installing GNOME extensions via Nix. The usage should be similar to nix4vscode.

such as install gnome extension:

extensions = pkgs.nix4gnome.forGnome "50" [
    "tamasfe.even-better-toml"
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers"
];

If there’s a significant interest(by like this post), I might start working on this project.

What would this get us as compared to Home Manager’s programs.gnome-shell.extensions?

Non-reliance on h-m, I presume.

That was my first guess too, but what if there’s something else? :person_shrugging:

Nixpkgs already automatically packages all relevant GNOME Shell extensions under gnomeExtensions attribute (and few for older versions under gnomeXYExtensions).
