WASP and IntelliJ Idea
Does anyone here use JetBrains IntelliJ Idea?
I prefer it to VSCode, and has built-in configurations to run and monitor your app during development. I can set it to run "npm" or "node" commands but I'm not sure how to set it to run "wasp start". Does anyone have any ideas?

What does the alias "wasp" call in terminal? like what does "wasp start" actually do behind the scenes?
thanks for bringing it up! Wasp is a standalone binary, I guess IntelliJ should have a way to execute any binary?
Under the hood it runs frontend and backend but also some other stuff, like watching your app and recompiling on every change etc. So I think it wouldn't be that easy to avoid running wasp start, but @martinsos will know details
Yeah, you need
wasp start, it actually does quite some work in the background. But I am sure you can tell IntelliJ Idea to run custom program!
