Description

Currently in the Playgrond we are limited to the few examples which we bundle, but it would be very powerful to be able to link to e.g. https://spy.github.io/spy/?load=https://raw.github.com/blablabla

Or maybe even to link to a whole repo/gist/directory which contains multiple files. This would make it possible to load more complex examples which are split over multiple modules.

Contributor guide

Research direction
