In order to standardize the development environment, it would help to have a shell.nix file to specify all the required instruments. We already use this in the api to set up the development environment with MySQL, S3, and the likes.

In the nix environment for the frontend, we need the following (list not yet vetted):

Hocuspocus YJS server (for example, npx @hocuspocus/cli --port 1234)
Setting the relevant environment variables as is needed (for example, PUBLIC_API_BASE)
