As mentioned in the discussion below, the instructions in the Readme on how to launch the examples are inconsistent. In the "how to run" sections it mentions the CLI command, in the "how to develop" it mentions the VSCode configs. I suggest to:
remove the VSCode way from the "develop" sections completly
Add the VS Code alternative to the "how to run" sections
Link from the "develop" to the "how to run" section
I'm a little confused as to why the docs describe the watch workflow in such a way where we need to launch the backends with vscode, we can alternatively also describe how to do so simply with the terminal.
I agree that it would make sense to at least also mention that the backend can be started from within VSCode via the launch config or with e.g. cd browser-app; yarn start. Do you want me to open a separate PR with a proposal?
If you'd like to and agree it adds value for extension developers then please feel free to open the PR :)
