nixcafe
Nix scaffolding tools and frameworks for modern development.
nixcafe builds tools that make Nix more approachable — opinionated scaffolding, automatic flake discovery, and composable module systems.
Projects
purr
A Nix flake framework with automatic discovery. Supports both flake-parts imports and direct mkFlake usage. Comes with a rich module system for composing dev shells, checks, packages, and more.
Philosophy
- Zero boilerplate — Start from a single config, not a hundred lines of Nix
- Automatic discovery — Your project structure defines your flake
- Composable — Mix and match modules like Lego blocks
- Nix native — Built on Nix fundamentals, no lock-in
