Farid Zakaria introduces trynix-preview, a GitHub Action that posts a link on pull requests allowing reviewers to boot the PR's build directly in their browser via trynix.dev—no cloning, building, or servers needed. The action leverages pre-built Nix store paths in a cache (like Cachix) and simply provides store path links to the browser.
Background
trynix.dev is a project by Farid Zakaria that enables running Nix-built software in the browser without server infrastructure, building on prior work in Nix package evaluation and browser-based execution.
