Check out replit. They implement a browser-based IDE. I could be mistaken, but I don't think it's really focused on tutorials/teaching.

What comes to mind immediately is how to use the tooling that usually comes with an IDE. If you could add tutorial on using the debugger and git tooling that comes with popular IDE's like VSCode, I think that would be helpful for people looking to make the jump from coding on the side to doing it professionally.

Very interesting, thank you. Thinking about taking the project in a different direction based on the feedback I'm getting.
