How to prepare a configuration.nix prior to installing NixOS (alien.top)

Hello, hope your all well?

So I'm about to install NixOS on my primary workstation. I've been tinkering on an old laptop, learning flakes, getting to grips with home-manager and the nix commands especially garbage collection.

So the configuration.nix I've created on my laptop, isn't all the tooling I'll use on my workstation and honestly, I can remember half the stuff I've installed or tools I install along the way.

So here is my actual question is there anything like a nix config generator, where I can cherry pick apps, services and utilities?

Maybe something like these? The pulumi one is similar to the example you mentioned.

In case you're not familiar with a direnv+nix workflow, find a good starting point here.
