When developing on arch without nix, the website looks ugly. I assume the CSS just isn't loaded.

There are no errors when building.
I retroactively installed tailwindcss and dart-sass (listed in README.md and flake.nix respectively) without any change.

Running the watch command from within a nix develop shell, in the same clone of the project, it works.

Can you include a PR to update the README to include the installtion of dart-sass?

I don't think dart-sass is a requirement. As with tailwindcss, the compilation worked without it.
sqlite is also not needed, at least for developing the project. I might be nice for running custom queries against the db file.

If we are cleaning up the non-nix instructions, there are two more things I noticed:

Mentioning that cargo-leptos and sqlx can and should be installed with cargo could be nice as well.
The $ sqlx database setup command, and with it the definition of DATABASE_URL, seem unnecessary too, since the db is created by the build command.

I see. Can you create a PR with these changes?
