Add explanation how to run local web server #119
Conversation
| Running this executable with `cabal run web` will start a web server listening on | ||
| `0.0.0.0:8000`. You should be able to see the web page by opening | ||
| <http://localhost:8000> in a web browser. _Note_ that you will need to run | ||
| `cabal run web` within this current directory. |

Ah, this is presumably because runApp refers to style.css by relative path. There should be some way around this. Maybe using file-embed?

Yeah, we could use something like file-embed to do this. I figured just explaining it in the documentation was the easiest thing to do here, but we could always improve it in the future it ends up being annoying.

Out of interest, why 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost?

It appears that by default warp actually does listen on all interfaces (0.0.0.0), and not just localhost. So I felt this message was "more correct", although I guess some developers might not know that 0.0.0.0 means they can connect by accessing http://127.0.0.1:8000.
This PR is for #116. It just adds a simple explanation of how to run a local web server.
