> - Building our Go project in a Nix package was nearly impossible with private GitHub repos, so we moved on.

Yes. This is a nightmare, and is the literal step-one problem FlakeHub is designed to solve.

Regarding the monorepo causing big-bang updates that broke all your stuff: continued, strong, agreement. I think as nixpkgs continues to grow, and usage grows, we'll see a wider adoption of flakes from a pure "how do we all work together?" perspective. That's the flip side of FlakeHub's initial concept.



Please keep at it! Doing what GitHub did for Git is a real opportunity I think for Nix. We'll be keeping an eye on Determinate's work...


Thank you, we will! =). I think there is a lot of opportunity here around a cohesive workflow around Nix. That is a big part about what I was consulting on for so many years.

Maybe check out our demo on our home page: https://determinate.systems/ -- you might like it.
