One smaller UI improvement I would like to see is being able to retrieve the exact git commit of an installed flake. This seems not to be possible atm. Main argument for not having this is putting a reference to the git commit into the nix store folder would break hermetic evaluation. (You can habe multiple commits resulting in the same code.) It should however not be too hard to log that information separately somewhere else. It is somewhat disapointing for this link to be missing when flakes are already tied to git as they are.
The log entries could also include a flag if the flake was installed "dirty" (having uncomitted changes at the time).
