Anyone care to shed why myapp.localhost:3000 (for the webapp I'm developing) is something that's useful for me rather than localhost:3000 ?

EDIT: on linux and don't use launchd, so I'd still the port number

Maybe you have a stack of applications that needs to communicate. Seeing db.localhost is a little easier to read that db:3360, but especially if you have multiple web applications. It's easier to read sso.localhost, api.localhost, and www.localhost.

They also show having the webserver to the TLS, that might be helpful.
