I was going to start a similar project a few months back, but started a new gig and haven't had any time to work on it. I'd like to offer up the name I was using for that repo (which I never published). The reason I suggest this is because the current name is dangerously similar to the (seemingly) abandoned nixdoc making discoverability difficult.

So I propose the name dox

I'm not interested in renaming this project in general as I understand this project appears higher in search and is relatively clear it's separate based on its description. I'm also not a particular fan of that name:

  • it's not clearly associated with Nix
  • it has extremely unfortunate denotation outside of computing: it's used to refer to the practice of nonconsensual publishing of (especially marginalized people's) private details as a silencing tactic

No worries just a suggestion, as I'm not going to be using it anymore. Thanks for this awesome project 🙏
