Nix makes it trivial to share development and build environments for your projects, regardless of what programming languages and tools you’re using. Nix ensures that installing or upgrading one package cannot break other packages. It allows you to roll back to previous versions and ensures that no package is in an inconsistent state during an upgrade. Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell, they are built by functions that don’t have side effects, and they never change after they have been built.Starting Price: Free -

Restyled
Restyled
Style is important. Any time there's more than one way to do something in code, inconsistencies will creep in. Besides measurably adding to the time it takes to read and comprehend code, inconsistent style across a codebase can hide bugs, often very bad ones. Great tools exist for almost every language to automatically align code to a defined style. Through editor integrations or git pre-commit hooks, a single developer can give themselves a great workflow for automatically dealing with style. Doing this across a team, on the other hand, can be challenging. Restyled makes it easy to maintain, or transition to, a consistent coding style across your entire organization by integrating directly into your existing pull request process. Open a pull request that changes files in one of our many, many supported languages. If it doesn't conform to your preferred style, a status check will fail and point to another pull request where it's been restyled.Starting Price: $5 one-time payment -
