One flake to rule them all

Farid Zakaria introduces 'omniflake', a single Nix flake that aggregates nearly 12,000 other flakes behind one input, addressing the community's frustration with redundant flake dependencies. The tool leverages Nix's language laziness to provide on-demand access to packages, overlays, and NixOS modules without bloating flake inputs. An accompanying website at omniflake.com catalogs the supported flakes.
