@paulvi For me it is working well. Can you try to get some more information from chrome developer console?

OS: macOS Mojave
Browser: Version 92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (x86_64)

main branches for both project

[paulvi]

Why is locally running app (on port :3000) trying to connect to :3060 ?

It should be some required port configuration, though I assume it should work by default when following README

[paulvi]

Well, app from https://localhost:3000/ can connect,
but not app from https://local.terra.money:3000/

[paulvi]

Should anything from .env.development be applied? Or .env changed in other way?

I tried all .env.development (including HOST=local.terra.money), it did not help.

Please point in right direction

[hanjukim]

do you have local.terra.money record in /etc/host ?

[paulvi]

Yes, I have
(it is visible in screenshot above)

.env file does nothing

I ran successfully in a pretty hacky way.
under package.json
"start": "HOST=localhost react-scripts start"

we have to use https, without, the local storage was failing for me.

[wrjanan]

we could add a separate script for convenience purposes.
"start": "react-scripts start",
"start:local": "HOST=localhost react-scripts start"

This way, if we wanted to test with local node, we can run npm run start:local

However, this is just the surface level fix.

A deep root level fix will involve setting an environment variable that captures the baseURL which the local terra node runs on.

Else, maybe we can open the local terra node to link with local.terra.money as well?

The latter sounds simpler.. Do we have infrastructure expertises with local terra node and if we are able to sym link local.terra.money instead of just localhost?

Actually the use of local.terra.money will be deprecated very soon. Just wait for a few days please.
