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

Using real domain names lets you experience the web as it is in production. Localhost has a bunch of exceptions (i.e. HTTP URLs are treated as secure, CORS acts funny, etc.). Using domain names disables special handling of localhost URLs that'll help you spot problems before they hit production.

Thanks. This is the reason I wanted rather then convenience of not typing a port number (which I'd use a bookmark for, so I really don't care)
