 - Visit your `localhost` in your locally running `atomic-data-browser` instance: (e.g. `http://localhost:5173/app/show?subject=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost`)
 - use `cargo watch -- cargo run` to automatically recompile `atomic-server` when you push new assets using `pmpm build-server` in `atomic-data-browser`. This can be useful if you're debugging specific features that you can't reproduce while the front-end is hosted in vite.
