Serve multiple laravel apps on localhost with php artisan serve

I'd like to be able to serve more than one laravel app at the same time on different tabs/ports, this is so I can showcase various designs, sadly when I run php artisan serve I can get only one app running at a time on port 8000.

Even after updating to laravel 5.8, form the docs:

Artisan Serve Improvements
In previous releases of Laravel, Artisan's serve command would serve your application on port  8000. If another serve command process was already listening on this port, an attempt to serve a second application via serve would fail. Beginning in Laravel 5.8, serve will now scan for available ports up to port 8009, allowing you to serve multiple applications at once.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Use php artisan serve --port='YOUR-PORT' command.

or

you can create a variable SERVER_PORT in your .env file

Example:

SERVER_PORT=80

You can use Laravel Valet for this, you essentially have local domains for each site, I use it daily on MacOS if you're on windows this should help:
