Question: how to debug issues loading http://localhost:8080 #1757
Description
hi, this is not an issue with the code, so if this is the wrong place to post, please redirect me and close this.
I'm able to run through the tutorial demo app which works when I deploy it, but I'm unable to run it locally for testing via http://localhost:8080
On Windows 10 neither in Chrome nor Edge browser, just the standard "This site can’t be reached"
Many thanks for any help or pointers.

Hi @topshef, thank you for opening an issue. Unfortunately, this issue tracker has limited visibility and scope - basically, it's just for reporting issues with the samples contained here and is only watched by the folks who work on these samples.
We are happy to help you move this bug to venues where it'll get the attention of the appropriate product teams.
I'm going to close this issue because the folks who own this repo have no actionable way to resolve it directly, but please let us know if there's anything we can do to help!
