Newt

Newt is a basic search tool which allows you to search nixpkgs without having to use the website. It doesn't use a web render / web view, so it should remain relatively light on resources.

What's It Look Like?

I tried my best to make it look like a nice native clean MacOS application.

Also Included In Repo.

I also wrote a tool called gnix, which I use as a wrapper for nix, and some convenience tooling, such as displaying what the current nix channels are, and displaying installed packages, with additional information.

I plan to mainstream a the gnix featureset directly into the newt-gui, just for my convenience.

Installation.

I think you can just download, and then type just once you have the justfile command runner installed to install. If you think this belongs in nixpkgs please add. I'm a busy person so I'm not sure how maintained I can keepthis however.

Does it work?

It works wonderfully (on my machine). I use it everyday.
