What is new in Portside 0.3.0
## 0.3.0 — 2026-11-09 - Docker and OrbStack containers show up by name. Published ports used to collapse into a single `docker` row under *Other listeners*; now every container gets its own row (#5) - A container from a Compose or Supabase project inside a git checkout sits under that repo; other containers get a new **Containers** section - **Stop** and **Kill** on a container run `docker stop` / `docker kill` instead of signalling the VM's port proxy, which took every container down with it
