Is there a sample store built with Hydrogen? (Apologies if I missed the mention of it in the article)

A starter template is included with a CLI. If you have node installed, run `npx create-hydrogen-app`

  If anyone from Shopify is reading this, being able to just visit a sample store would be great as a first step before having to go into a dev environment (which like many people I don't have on my phone where I'm first encountering the announcement)

    You can go to https://hydrogen.new https://hydrogen.new to immediately spin up a full environment on stackblitz

      I don't get this weird objection to just letting visitors see the end result. I get that it's a dev tool. I still want to see an example end result before I invest time in learning the dev tool. I'm not alone in that. There's a reason why "Demo" links are common. They increase the odds people spend enough time with your product to get to the point of adopting it.

      Your link doesn't work on mobile. Yes, I get that it's a dev site, but as Shopify is aware most users encounter most sites for the first time on their mobile device. I'm not the only person hitting this page on their phone wondering "I wonder what this looks like - is this interesting enough for me to remember for later?" With no demo page the answers that gets a yes are far lower than if there were a demo page.

Yes in this repo: https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen-examples https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen-examples

  Those are code, which is great, but they're not the clickable demo store I was hoping to find (Shopify is traditionally great about providing clickable demo stores, so the lack of them here feels odd)

    Click on https://hydrogen.new https://hydrogen.new, it'll spin up a demo store that you can play with in the preview pane.

        Fair, we'll have demo links and examples to share in the future. The focus right now is to get hands-on developer feedback on ergonomics, API shape, etc.

Yes we need to link this better. We are using it for https://shopify.supply https://shopify.supply for example. But lots more coming!
