oh my fault a flake would actually be better with whiskers and stuff so this one (447d4f4fb1/flake.nix) was good with a few suggestions:

* use unstable nixpkgs
* use `https://codeberg.org/evergarden/whiskers/archive/main.tar.gz` for whiskers
* instead of locking the system to `x86_64-linux`, use something like this: [evergarden/whiskers](https://codeberg.org/evergarden/whiskers/) – [flake.nix](https://codeberg.org/evergarden/whiskers/src/commit/89c61f95f7ce1521c5c07ac89fb9ab08d68a2d13/flake.nix#L11-L15)Lines 11 to 15 in [evergarden/whiskers@89c61f9](https://codeberg.org/evergarden/whiskers/src/commit/89c61f95f7ce1521c5c07ac89fb9ab08d68a2d13)` forAllSystems =
 `` function:
 `` nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs nixpkgs.lib.systems.flakeExposed (
 `` system: function nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}
 `` );
 `
* use `mkShellNoCC`

Okay it's been done :). I also have a question out of curiousity, why do we pull the tar.gz of our repos when we could fetch the git url from it? I haven't really seen any other nix input besides ours using tar.gz so I am just wondering

thanks! the tarball doesnt contain repo info and git stuff so its somewhat lighter. ive seen this done in a lot of flakes
