Recently started using NixOS, and nix.dev has been very useful thanks! Some more NixOS-specific stuff would be really nice, if it’s in scope. I think a lot of the power of NixOS comes from the composition aspect, but I haven’t managed to figure out how mkOverride, mkIf, mkDefault and everything else actually work (rather than at a superficial level). I’m not sure if something as simple as adding an item to an option list from 2 separate bits of config is possible for example. Along the same line, another thing I’ve found hard to discover is patterns used in the standard library. For example, I recently learned about makeBinPath from some random Nix file, and I’d really like some way of discovering quality of life stuff like that without needing to randomly come across it in some Nix code.
