When things just work → developers can focus on building.

That’s why Rok (Flox engineer, Nix user, 20+ years in software) is kicking off a new series on Flox!

In Rok’s words: things just work.

This is just the teaser 🚀

Stay tuned, more Flox videos coming soon!

What makes Nix stick?

Ron Efroni shares how the Nix community became one of the most helpful and passionate in open source.

We go deeper in Nix in the Wild, where devs share how they’re using Nix in real-world projects.

Sometimes writing code isn’t the hardest part.
It’s dealing with everything *around* it.

❌ Different Node/Python versions.
❌ Piles of dependencies.
❌ READMEs that *almost* work (but don’t).

With Flox, you can set up environments in seconds.

Brian wrote a post on blueprint: bmcgee.ie/posts/2025/0...

The project is coming along quite nicely.
Nix: structuring Flakes with Blueprint
I’m sitting here, in an Airbnb in Brussels, after a long weekend of talking tech and drinking beer during my first FOSSDEM. Seems like as good a time as any then to try and restart my regular posting ...

In the real world, Flox and #containers neatly 🧩 complement one another.

The real magic ✨ lies in using Flox inside containers to fetch & manage runtime dependencies dynamically.

This keeps images minimal 📦 + guarantees reproducibility 🔁. Learn more:
