I believe that there is a web interface for this as well that Dave Thompson wrote. Anyone have a
link to that source code?
I encourage someone to write a guix specific channel that packages one of these, so that it is easy
for anyone to try to use these tools. Maybe the #whereiseveryone community can include it in
guixrus channel. Or maybe a guix blog, or TODO list that mentions these tools.
