How does a DOS-style menu help manage a local development environment?▼

A DOS-style menu provides a user-friendly, interactive command-line interface within a `run-dev.bat` script, allowing you to select and launch specific services like frontend or backend instead of running multiple commands manually.

Can I launch multiple development processes simultaneously with a batch script?▼

Yes, the generated batch script supports multi-process launching by using `start` commands or `concurrently`, allowing you to run multiple development servers simultaneously from a single interactive menu selection.

Does the generated batch script handle Python virtual environment activation?▼

Yes, the generated `run-dev.bat` script includes environment management logic for Python virtual environments, automatically handling creation and activation before launching your backend services.

What is the best way to start a multi-service Node.js and Python project on Windows?▼

The best way to start a multi-service Node.js and Python project is using a generated `run-dev.bat` script, which automatically detects project types and provides an interactive menu to launch all services concurrently.

What project types does the batch script generator automatically detect for service launching?▼

The batch script generator automatically detects common project types like Node.js and Python by analyzing project files, identifying their specific services to configure the interactive launch menu correctly.
