Publicising nix-snapshotter more

[RobbieBuxton]

I think we have reached a point where nix-snapshotter is mature enough that it might be wise to try and publicise it a bit more. It would be nice to have a bit more traffic and hopefully get some more contributors!

From the Insite/Traffic page it seems like most of our visitors are still coming for the original HN post, followed by direct searching. We got a massive burst of interest with the HN post and it's plateaued off a little bit since then.

As I think mentioned in a prior PR discoverability suffers a little bit from the project only really being findable if you already know what you are looking for, as a suspect a lot of people do not know what a snapshotter is.

It might be wise to try and add some links to some places NixOS wiki, (“See also” for example) that point people towards this project.

Would be interested in your thoughts and any other ideas you might have @elpdt852!

The NixOS wiki is a good idea, will discuss that with @elpdt852 - thanks @RobbieBuxton !

Possibly also put in a PR to add it to awesome nix? I think it's "awesome" enough 😁.

HN post and it's plateaued

There was a small uptick on Oct 10th.

I think another popular post can and should be created from #85, namely how to get nix-snapshotter running in a public kubernetes engine.
