update Readme with latest branch name and pointer to SocialHub

- relaxes some version constraints as dirty update quickfix
- removes hie integration as that project is abandoned, todo: switch to
  haskell-languageserver instead

 ## Building
 
 The project and its developent environment are built with [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/).

+
+While the `shell-minimal.nix` environment contains everything necessary for building and testing this project, the `shell.nix` additionally contains the Haskell IDE engine *hie* and the documentation for all used Haskell packages for more convenient development.  
+Be aware that these need to be build from source and can take a very long time to build.
