| cmacrae | 👋 | 20:38:39 |
| accelbread | Hi! | 20:41:58 |
| cmacrae | good to be here :) thanks for sharing the link | 20:42:28 |
| accelbread | No problem, figured it would be good to have a chat room for flakelight users/developers to discuss | 20:43:24 |
| accelbread | I'll be moving accelbread/flakelight-rust to nix-community/flakelight-rust sometime soon | 20:44:21 |
| cmacrae | yeah absolutely 👍️ | 20:44:43 |
| cmacrae | oh nice, glad it's being adopted :) I had a rust flake template I'd made that used fenix which was when "flakes for developers" clicked for me (rather than just the DevOps mindset). after my experiences with flakelight, I'll most certainly be taking flakelight-rust for a spin | 20:46:17 |
| cmacrae | speaking of which, I just had my first day at a new job in a startup which build most of their stuff on rust. hoping to champion Nix at this company and you better believe I'll be doing it with flakelight ✨ | 20:47:05 |
| accelbread | Nice! I also use Nix at work but for embedded c mostly | 20:48:12 |
| accelbread | I use flakelight-rust for application crates, and workspace support was contributed | 20:49:43 |
| accelbread | If using it for a library crate, I'd be interested in knowing how it goes | 20:50:21 |
| cmacrae | very nice :) yeah for sure I'll share experiences with you 👍️ | 20:50:56 |
| cmacrae | I'll probably write a blog post about using flakelight some time soon (not a big deal, I seldom write). it's the first time since transitioning to flakes a matter of years ago that I've been satisfied with the composition of my config | 20:52:08 |
| accelbread | Yeah, I went through using a bunch of flake libraries before i came to the conclusion that I was going to have to write one, ha | 20:53:29 |
| cmacrae | well i'm very glad you did, because we obviously have similar outlooks on how things "should" be done haha | 20:54:11 |
| accelbread | One thing i've noticed, is that a lot of projects have an icon. I didn't think that was needed, and kinda tacky, though I think it may be needed. I just used Nix icon when adding it to nixos-landscape. Now also need one for stuff like chatroom icon | 21:01:00 |

| cmacrae | yeah I feel you - it's almost become a necessity. could be kinda fun from a design perspective at least, though; if you're looking to take something positive from it :)
thoughts in my mind immediately point to some sort of Nix logo with fewer "branches", in keeping with the aptly named "light" ethos | 21:07:53 |
| cmacrae | but hey, maybe that's a little boring (most Nix derived projects do something with modifying the logo) | 21:08:31 |
| accelbread | Oh, I didnt even think to interpret the name as light as in lightweight | 21:09:24 |
| cmacrae | no? haha, that's totally how I interpreted it! like "this is flakes... simplified" in my head 😅 | 21:10:21 |
| accelbread | I named it combining "flake" with one of my favorite words, "snowlight" | 21:10:22 |
