You should now be able to open your browser and go to http://localhost:5173/signup to create a new user.

Then, after signing up, you should be able to log in by going to http://localhost:5173/login.

After logging in, you won't see much but you can create posts using PostMan and they should then show up in the browser if you refresh the page.
