:memo: Developer environment setup on NixOS (#454)

* 🧑‍💻feat: update nix flake dev environment

- This removes installing `docker`, `rust-analyzer`, `rustfmt`
imperatively. `nodejs` is used to install dev dependencies
`stylelint-config-standard` and `postcss-lit`
- The `shellHook`s adds `rusty-hook` CLI to the PATH and the node
dev dependencies to the NODE_PATH.

* 📝 docs(developing): update NixOS dev environment setup

* fix: remove nonvital guide and improve grammar

 #### Post Setup Requirements
 
-After you have done setting up pre-commit checks, then you may need to fulfill a few more requirements to finish setting up the development environment with `NixOS dev-shell`. These include:
-
-- `Cargo-watch` installed on your system which will allow you to auto-build the project when any checks occur in the source code files in the codebase (`websurfx` directory). Before you install `cargo-watch` on your system, make sure you have `cargo` installed on your system. To install `cargo-watch` run the following command:
+The final step is to run
 
 ```shell
-cargo install cargo-watch
+npm i -D stylelint-config-standard postcss-lit`
 ```
 
+This will add `node_modules` in the current directory.

+Run `git commit` and if every thing is setup correctly, it should say that your branch is up to date.

 #### Running the Project
 
 If you have followed the above section then you should now be inside a `dev-shell` environment. In the same environment run the following command to run the project:
