Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
Since 13.2 dashboard now has the ability to export and import telemetry. As of right now, you can only really import telemetry to an existing dashboard whether that's part of a project or a standalone dashboard.
Current workaround solution is having a standalone dashboard ready primarily just for telemetry. After each use the standalone dashboard has to be restarted to have it clean and ready for next telemetry.
Describe the solution you'd like
A cli command aspire dashboard (alias could be aspire dash) that would start an empty dashboard.
Additional context
Having the ability to quickly start a dashboard from the command line could open more doors for other potential features. A few examples:
- Creating your own AppHost visually using the dashboard and exporting it as C# or TypeScript or any other language that's going to be supported in the future
- If OpenAPI is going to be implemented, this could be used as a quick playground tool for APIs that expose OpenAPI documents.
