I am currently freshening up Nifty a bit. I got rebar3 running (#52 ) but as of right now it is not possible to publish a package on Hex.pm.

The reason is that Nifty has rebar3 as dependency (for creating the OTP library structure and compiling the modules) but rebar3 does not have a Hex release (see erlang/rebar3#1814).

It seems nifty ended up being published in Hex.pm. So, no need for a rebar3 Hex.pm version? This is not true; check #47 (comment) below.

It's news to us (to me, at least) that nifty has been published in Hex.pm.
Also, whoever published it there never notified us and has described nifty in a strange, to say the least, way.

Hi, @kostis, you are absolutely right. It's not the same nifty :-)

I should've dug deeper.

It's not even a fork.

I'll retract my initial message (I was careful enough to write "seems", though 😄).

Yea, this got me all confused. You could publish this package under the name nifty_erl.
