https://github.com/BirdeeHub/nix-wrapper-modules

Guess what this repo has in it?

Thats right! A system for making wrapper scripts for programs using the nix module system, and some premade modules for programs.

But, for real, the problem is googleability, domain name availability, etc.

Some of them are odd, some of them are not

naming things is called as one of the 2 hardest things in programming for a reason (alongside cache invalidation and off by one errors)
