Unexpected dependencies in `tasklite-core`

[cideM]

I am a Nix user and wanted to install tasklite from Nixpkgs. But it's marked as broken and trying to unbreak it is not as easy as I was hoping for. The worst offender so far is the airgql dependency, which has multiple dependencies whose versions in the current Haskell package set in Nix packages is bigger than what the airgql package allows. It's also not as simple as bumping those versions, since it then fails to compile.

Anyways, what I am actually getting at is that I was surprised to find something like airgql in tasklite-core. I have no plans of using the web app and was therefore hoping that I could just use the CLI tool only and then maybe not have to compile airgql at all.

Is airgql in the core unavoidable?

@ad-si It doesn't seem doable at the moment ?

We should add a flag to allow compiling TaskLite without the server.
