Not sure if this counts, but I'll throw my own project (semi-CLI-driven testing framework) into the ring, not as a perfect example overall, but as an example of what I wish more projects did, which was let me experiment a bit with their interfaces before I downloaded them.
This isn't something that's doable for every utility, but especially with the advent of WASM and easier cross-compiling from C, I wish more CLI/API documentation would allow me to play around with examples or try out a command on their docs page or in a sandbox; particularly if they're selling themselves as having a composable interface.
That's not only helpful for figuring out whether or not I want to use the project, it's also helpful when I look at a piece of documentation and am not sure which flag or option is actually important.

- tomcam 6y agoIt sure does count, Dan. Love how you pare it down to the absolute minimum so anyone visiting all of the site just pick up the essentials and learn more or just dip without wasting any time. And I agree, the playground concept is always welcome. Definitely sexy.
