Hey! Since World Monitor uses Vite under the hood, changing the dev port is super easy. You have two ways to do it:

Option 1: The quick terminal command (Temporary)

You don't need to edit any files. Just pass the new port directly when you start the app:
npm run dev -- --port 8080 (swap 8080 for whatever port you want to use)

Option 2: The permanent config fix

If you want it to always load on a specific port automatically, open the vite.config.ts (or .js) file in the root directory and add a port to the server settings:
export default defineConfig({
server: {
port: 8080, // Add your new port here
},
// ... the rest of the existing config
})

Either of these will bypass that port 3001 conflict immediately!
