can we move the web app to port 3000?

We are creating the callback URL automatically when a user downloads a QS from the CLI and the port is fixed to localhost:3000. Can we change it instead of using 4200?

Hi @woloski,

We could do that, I am a bit concerned about the confusion this might give to Angular users. I know it's only a port, but angular is known to run their application on 4200, I am pretty convinced not using 4200 will confuse people as pretty much all angular docs will always refer to 4200. As some of our audience also involves people less familiar with Angular, I believe sticking to Angular defaults can improve DX for them.

I am happy to change the port to 3000, but before doing so I wanted to check if there is a possibility to have the CLI use 4200 for Angular instead to ensure we align with the Angular defaults rather than adapt for our own tooling.

If that isn't an option or creates unnecessary complexity on the CLI side, I am happy to change the port. But I wanted to verify before doing so.

hmmm I see. @Widcket not sure how complex would it be to change the default URL in the CLI "if Angular".

@woloski not much, can squeeze it in today

Cool thanks @Widcket , I will close this but let me know if you need anything from me for this.
