I like to explain things by example, and interactive examples are even better. So I built a sandbox server that lets you run virtually any software. And a widget to easily add interactive code examples to any kind of technical documentation.
You can use it to build your own sandboxes, or use existing ones to write interactive guides like these: https://github.com/nalgeon/tryxinyminutes https://github.com/nalgeon/tryxinyminutes
