[Suggestion]: UX Improvements #33

What happened?

The java playground would benefit greatly from some fairly simple UX improvements. The typical approach to using the playground for me looks like the following:

  1. Navigate to the website.

  1. Clear example code, either by pressing the button or ctrl+a and remove.
  2. Press enter 10 times to make some space to work in.
  3. Click into the first row to get started.
  4. Now I can start working with the following layout.

I assume that others also use a similar approach.

It would be very beneficial if either the starting layout would be adjusted so the user can get started more quickly without all the extra steps or alternatively the possibility to set some kind of user configuration in the session/cookie/etc.

Thanks!

What exactly would you like to store in the browser (localStorage might be an option as well)?

For making space, I would suggest "just" setting a minimum height for the playground text area unconditionally.
