This looks really awesome. I really like that you allow users to try it out without having to sign up.

I think probably the biggest hurdle with something like this gaining traction is having the users remember that it's available.

Is it possible to fork from an existing container? If that's possible, you can probably get maintainers to include a link to a working container with the lib already setup in the project's new issue template.

You can link to an existing notebook and add "/clone" to the end of the URL to basically get this behavior. That's how the 'Try It Now' button at the bottom of the page works, we should definitely make this more obvious. Additionally, maintainers can embed RunKit on their pages with our embed API: https://runkit.com/embed. For example, Lodash uses embed on their documentation: https://lodash.com/docs/.
