'npm start in React app opens different url unpredictably
Tried to run npm start on a project I hadn't looked at in a couple weeks and when I did it opens up localhost:3000/myname/partofmyprojectname instead of just localhost:3000/
When I go to localhost:3000/ there's an error in my terminal
Really confusing because it worked last time I tried it and I didn't change anything I don't think.

As I was making this question I found the solution from this post:
In my package.json, "homepage"'s value was the path to the readme in the github repo: "https://github.com/myname/my-app-frontend#readme" (don't know how that happened). I just changed that to '/'.
I'm thinking maybe my version of react-scripts updated and npm start was deferring to the homepage key in the package.json but not totally sure.
