Interesting, but why doesn't the article provide demos? am i missing something? Yes I can drag and drop the code to new tabs but it would have been so easy to have demo links, or to run the code in iframes on the page itself!

You can find the demos on the project page https://github.com/zserge/awfice https://github.com/zserge/awfice (cf. "Try it!" links)

  I know, and again it's not hard to run without that. But I'm always surprised people don't realise how much difference it makes to have a big "DEMO" link in people's face vs "oh you can click here and here and then you see it!" Adding these links may literally be the 5 minutes in your creative process that will give you the most value

    I have a feeling that, for the poster, the creative process itself has enough value. I appreciate their generosity in taking the time to share their creativity, and inspire others to think of creative ways to test limits and subvert standard ways of doing things- like using a bulky office suite, or putting a big demo button, rather than encouraging readers to interact with interfaces in ways they hadn't considered before. Of course, if you're trying to monetize, or make sure it's easy for less savvy folks to access a useful tool, you're probably absolutely right.

    That is `data:text/html,...` samples — copy, paste into URL, submit. Unfortunately Firefox does not load "data:..." links [1], github "Try it" links digress to hosted pages which breaks the point. You've made me think though. If it is hard to copy URL, maybe it is hard to copy code into the console. I've added buttons to my contenteditable demo [2].
