We should be able to paste URLs like:

https://codethemicrobit.com/api/oembed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcodethemicrobit.com%2Fbisxdnsllg&format=json
https://codethemicrobit.com/bisxdnsllg

and possibly others. This is useful when:

you're running from localhost
you're running from an app (Electron, Windows Hosted app etc)
you don't want to close your current pxt instance to import project

Another one to support:

https://github.com/mmoskal/pxt-i2c-fram

This should be also exposed as https://codethemicrobit.com/#clone:<URL> so that people can add such links to their pages. I guess it should ask for confirmation of import.

Spoke to Peli, and we're cutting the second feature request to support cloning of github packages.
