I tried the tool and it looks like it allows you to:

  • Create Nix flakes
  • Manage flake inputs
  • Create outputs of the following types:
    • Development shell
    • Home Manager config
    • Home Manager module
    • NixOS config
    • NixOS module
    • Package using nixos-generate to create an image from one of the configurations
  • Search for packages from flakes in the flake registry and add them to one of the devShells, configurations or modules
  • Search for NixOS options from flakes in the flake registry and add them to one of the configurations or modules
  • Commit the current state to create a new version in a rudimentary version control system.
  • Download the flake as a tarball

It does not appear to be possible to modify the flake externally and then upload it back to the editor so it pretty much locks you to the on-line editor if you do not want to manually sync your changes.

So I would change the description to something like “Create and manage Nix flakes (including NixOS and home-manager configurations and modules) using an on-line editor. It is not possible to edit the data externally and upload them to the app.”

yepp, its just a config generator, not a config editor

... because parsing arbitrary nix expressions is hard.
probably the internal storage format is not nix, but something static like json.
thats what i mean with "creating graphical nix editors is hard"
