Show HN: Fleek – Own Your $Home

20 pointsby bketelsenabout 2 years ago
Fleek is an all-in-one management system for everything you need to be productive on your computer.<p>Functionally, Fleek is a user-friendly wrapper around Nix and Nix Home Manager. It aims to provide users with a simple way to add packages, add shell aliases, and manage the shell&#x27;s PATH. It was born from the question &quot;What if we had the power of Nix and the simplicity of HomeBrew?&quot;<p>We built Fleek because we love Nix and Home Manager, but wanted an easier way to get started. Fleek intentionally hides the complexity of Nix, offering commands like &quot;fleek add neovim&quot; to add a package to your system.<p>You can use Fleek iteratively to make changes to your $HOME config and apply them. You can also use Fleek as a one-off generator to create a lightly-opinionated Home Manager flake that you can modify as you like.<p>Fleek is easy to share between computers, giving you an uncomplicated way to get the exact same configuration on Linux, Mac &amp; WSL.<p>Website: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getfleek.dev<p>Code: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ublue-os&#x2F;fleek<p>Example Generated Configuration: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ublue-os&#x2F;fleek&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;examples&#x2F;high<p>My Personal Fleek Configuration: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bketelsen&#x2F;fleek<p>We&#x27;d love to get your feedback on the app, the process, and the generated configurations.

This is awesome! I utilize `nix` on Linux and Mac but I haven&#x27;t &quot;drank the kool-aid&quot; so I utilize `nix profile` and a makefile:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sontek&#x2F;homies&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;justfile">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sontek&#x2F;homies&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;justfile</a><p>Fleek basically replaces my hacked together work flow with something that I&#x27;d actually utilize on a daily basis! Nix shouldn&#x27;t be an all or nothing thing and this is one step closer to making it a generally available set of technology.
