- Add Nix FlakeClosed
Hey, thanks for working on walker! I've noticed that you did a rewrite for 1.0 and it seems like the Nix flake hasn't been ported yet. Is this planned? I can create a PR otherwise.

No problem, just feature request: please Include Perplexity.ai and perplexica instance as part of AI or search module As walker has support for ai and websearch modules, Perplexity/Perplexica is an AI/LLM search engine, which would work with this since it has an AI mode. N/A N/A…

After I upgrade walker to version 0.12.38, the search bar disappears except for the first I run walker. And walker -n works without this issue. 0.12.38-1 I've rerun walker -C and I can still reproduce this problem. Run walker as service, then call it twice. The search bar should…

Walker should allow splitting the config, like many other apps do. Use case: Having an upstream distribution (like which customizes the main config, but I want to add my additional config. i.e. a config.toml, and a conf.d directory for additional additions. Or a include statement…
