Adding a way of versioning would allow to embed a specific version of a project into external websites but also keep working on it without breaking the published version.

You're right, once a project is released it can break easily when doing changes. There is some structure in place to provide versioned releases. However, we disabled the mechanism in the UI because it's too confusing.

The current idea is to allow users to create snapshots of a project. Each time they create a snapshot, a number is increased sequentially (like a build number). The website can then chose how to embed the project:
