Not listening on 4000

[ian]

This example appears to package and run but there is nothing listening on port 4000:

➜ npm run watch


> [email protected] watch /Users/ian/Projects/proxy
> webpack --mode production --watch

webpack is watching the files…

Entrypoint main = main.js
[0] ./src/index.js 612 bytes {0} [built]

and then checking listening ports:

~ via ⬢ v12.13.1
➜ netstat -an | grep 4000

~ via ⬢ v12.13.1
➜

hmmm. I actually think this is intended (though to be honest I can't remember why I did it this way).

npm start actually starts the server (and watches). npm watch just watches the compile, but doesn't actually serve anything. I'll update the readme or something to make this clear.

Ah. I think that was the confusion.

I really like how nextjs and other platforms have a npm start as a production server running against a build and npm run dev for local development / watch
