## Summary
Currently when running a dev or prod server locally in Greenwood, the terminal will display something like
```sh
Started dev server at localhost:1984
```
_But_, if we append `http://` to that, e.g.
```sh
Started dev server at http://localhost:1984
```
The log output will allow CLI and IDE users (at least VS Code) to open the URL directly from the terminal window, rather
than have the IDE (again, VS Code) attempt to locate the string as a local file path. See the screenshots below for a demo.
