flox is built on flakes, and interoperates with them fully. Will adjust the messaging to make that more clear

I wasn’t aware of devbox thanks @ananthakumaran @loreto I personally love working with GitHub - spf13/cobra: A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions · GitHub this looks like a great project!

Also worth mentioning: flox is bringing flox publish and flox subscribe into the mix. With publish we introduce the concept of the catalog, which is an enhancement of the otherwise scattered data about flox and nix builds of your projects. We make it easier to integrate and use the caches of your choosing (s3, cachix, etc), and in the end because of publishing, subscribing and the catalog, we make it less likely that you’ll trigger builds on things your team has already identically built once. Also, our approach makes it easier to drop packages right into a project (still using a flake), but without needing to compose a lot of the bolierplate code in the flake to achieve using the package. This can help people even if one person on a team is a champion of nix or flox and knows nix, because it makes it much easier for the rest of the team to adopt nix by using flox.
I worked on an elixir team where we used nix shells for development environments prior to joining flox. Nix turned out to be a really good fit, and we extended it to Ruby on Rails projects as well. But the improvements in flox will make the experience even better, while still being compatible with nix just as @jurraca described above. But flox will also make it simpler to use the same approach in CI, and in deploying to production (even if you are not using nixos, or are using containers, etc)

This blog post [1] isn’t available anymore, and there is no cached version.
Is there an updated version of it?
Same thing with the Phoenix example app[2].

@nivertech I am working up some phoenix examples using straight nix flakes for phoenix development (on linux for the moment)

I no longer work at flox, and now usually just use nix flakes directly, or https://devenv.sh/
