It would be very nice to have something similar to the no argument where we don't run the frontend at all. My use case uses browser and backend only. Something like:

elif sys.argv[1] == "backend_browser":
            killbackendports()
            run_backend_in_thread()
            open_browser_in_thread()

The front-end server is quite heavy and it would be nice to be able to spin up lightweight pods with just the back-end service of drivers. I will do this manually by editing the source, but an out of the box solution may be useful for future users.
