What is it exactly that you're trying to solve?

Are you creating a UI for setting up nix flake configs? What does it do beyond that?

And why is it coupled to geospatial tools?

I understood that the either the origin of the effort was based on geospatial tool management or geospatial tools are hairy enough problem to prove the value of the product.
This is correct, to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately certain entities in the space do not make a great effort to avoid breaking changes.
It is to lower the barrier for people who care about geospatial software, but may not be (and don't have to be!) Nix experts.
