Following https://docs.amplify.aws/react/start/quickstart/
npx ampx sandbox command from Step 8 succeeds, but it doesn't show a URL to access the newly launched sandbox. Not a single word in docs about how to actually access it. Chat-GPT couldn't help.

th sandbox command just creates the AWS resources for the local environment.

To actually run the dev server, you need to launch it using npm run dev
You should see a localhost URL in your terminal, that's where you'll be able to access it

Thanks!
So it's run half on the server (npx amps sandbox) and half locally (npm run dev) 🤔
I guess, it makes some sense, but very non-intuitive!
Should have been clearly explained in the docs (like so many other things about Amplify)
