705108492,MDU6SXNzdWU3MDUxMDg0OTI=,970,"request an ""-o"" option on ""datasette server"" to open the default browser at the running url",2861690,closed,0,,5971510,4,2020-09-20T13:16:34Z,2020-10-08T23:54:27Z,2020-09-22T14:27:04Z,NONE,,"This is a request for a ""convenience"" feature, and only a nice to have. It's based on seeing this feature in several little command line hypertext server apps.

If you run, for example:

    datasette.exe serve --open ""mydb.s3db"" 

I would like it if default browser is launched, at the URL that is being served.

The angular cli does this, for example 

  ng serve <project> --open  #see https://angular.io/cli/serve

...as does my usual mini web server of choice when inspecting local static files....

  npx http-server -o # see https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server

Just a tiny thing. Love your work!",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/970/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed
