Home Manager module for ActivityWatch

[jackdbd]

Create an Home Manager module that allows to configure ActivityWatch using Nix expressions instead of TOML files.

Where to store ActivityWatch categorization rules? I can export/import them as a JSON, but how to do it automatically.

Implemented first version in fd81e50. At the moment all ActivityWatch components (aw-qt, aw server, aw watchers) can be configured only via TOML files.

Implemented in #7 .

Hey @jackdbd , I was wondering if it was possible to get this in Home Manager somehow, as I'd also like to use this as a systemd service.

I initially thought about opening a PR in the Home Manager repo, but then I discussed about my solution in the NixOS forum and in the ActivityWatch forum and found out that ActivityWatch is meant to be started with the autostart mechanism of the user's desktop environment.

The rationale behind the decision of not including a systemd service in ActivityWatch is explained in this comment by one of ActivityWatch's authors.

So, if you want to use the systemd service I implemented in #7, I think your best bet is just copy-pasting my Home Manager module in your Nix configuration.
