Since my testimonial lacks a repo link, this PR adds a link to my system configuration repository, both next to the testimonial and as an example in the README. If either does not suit you, feel free to say.

## What is Den
53
54
55
-
At its core, Den is a **library** for activating Nix configuration aspects via context transformations.
56
57
On top of the library, Den provides a **framework** for the common case
58
-
of NixOS/nix-Darwin/Home-Manager.
59
60
Den embraces your Nix choices and does not impose itself. All parts of Den are optional and replaceable.

libraries across flakes or non-flakes.
120
121
Den is social, trying to bring re-usability across stable and unstable Nix boundaries.

No Flakes mandated.

## Den as a _framework_.
143
144
-
Built on top of `den.lib`, Den provides a framework with ready-made facilities for
145
NixOS/nix-Darwin/homes configurations.

```mermaid

157
1. **Schema** -- `den.hosts` and `den.homes` declare machines, users, and their properties with `den.base` modules and extensible freeform types.
158
2. **Aspects** -- `den.aspects.*` bundles per-class configs (`nixos`, `darwin`, `homeManager`, or any custom class) with `.includes` and `.provides` forming a DAG.
159
3. **Context pipeline** -- `den.ctx` transforms schema entries into context pairs (`{host}`, `{host, user}`, `{home}`), walking `into.*` transitions for derived contexts like `hm-host`, `hm-user`, `wsl-host` or any other custom context stage.
160
-
4. **Resolution** -- Parametric dispatch via `__functor` argument introspection. Functions receive only contexts whose shape matches their parameters.
161
5. **Output** -- Each host/home is instantiated via `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`, `darwin.lib.darwinSystem`, or `home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration`.
