Adding some parts of our private conversation to keep as record, the information will be very useful when writing these articles.

@adamziel mentioned the following:

  1. These Playground tutorials would be just WordPress tutorials prefaced with “Here’s a logged-in link to WordPress admin”
  2. The only Playground specific bit would be the ability to export your site or change the PHP/WP version with a click
  3. We’d also have to find an approach to the temporary nature of Playground. By default you lose your progress on page refresh. Sometimes that’s desired, other times that may be a problem. There’s a Playground feature that automatically saves your progress, but the caveat is that if you follow another link to Playground, you’ll go right back to your previous site. I’d love to work together to adjust Playground’s behavior as needed for the best possible user experience when interacting with the tutorials.
  4. WordPress Playground Block. It shows a code editor in the thumbnail but that’s optional, you can directly embed a preconfigured Playground without any code-related UI in a blog post.

Maybe we can use/repurpose the no-code and low-code sections of my Developer Blog article?

Updated a bunch of pages as starting points, many with links to relevant issues

The developer blog content for sure needs to be included here... working on consolidating all of the information to a single source for now :)

@ironnysh - Just getting back to this - I tried to organize everything and didn't get it quite ready.

Yes, your introductory post is very helpful for end-users, and should be repurposed.

What I did a couple of weeks ago was to go through all of the issues and organize as well as I could into a single repo, the Playground Docs Updates. The info needs to be better organized, polished and eventually published.

The workflow I went through was to look at all available docs, print them out, mark them up, and they have been somewhat cross-referenced in the docs updates. But it's not past the finish line yet

Had no idea how much of an undertaking this would be :)

Over the next week or so I'll put some time into this and get some PRs in for it

assigned, I'll get some content in soon!
