The explanation that was given to me: "the flake references this repo as a source. You don't need to manually bump versions - when users run nix flake update, they pull the latest commit automatically. So it's mostly self-maintaining since it tracks the repo directly."

You'll likely be fine with the official package.

Is there a hidden resume playback switch I haven't found? When I restart my computer I would like kew to just resume playback like cmus does.

No, there isn't. Maybe there should be.

You could make an issue for it if you want it!
