Interactive ripgrep guide and playground

[nalgeon]

Hi Andrew! Thank you for this great project!

I've made an interactive ripgrep tutorial, so newcomers can try it right from the browser without installing anything: Try ripgrep in Y minutes (source).

I've also created a navigable ripgrep playground.

I hope the tutorial and the playground will be useful for new ripgrep users. What do you think?

Nice, very cool. The interactive examples are nice.

Is there a way to make it show ripgrep's default output format? Colors might be difficult to capture though unfortunately.

[nalgeon]

Done! Added the --pretty option behind the scenes to show line numbers, headings and colors by default.

If you think this is useful for ripgrep newbies, would you consider adding a link to the guide and/or playground in the readme? It's totally cool if you don't, of course.

Yeah I think that sounds good. I am a little concerned about it disappearing since it's so new, but I don't think that should stop us from adding it. How about adding a new section with a link to it just before Installation and just after Feature comparison?

[nalgeon]

Thanks a lot! I've been building interactive guides since September 2023, which is definitely not a very long time :) I have no plans to abandon this initiative — but if I ever do, I will give you a heads up so you can remove the link (or I can always help you self-host the sandbox if you wish).

A section between "Feature comparison" and "Installation" is perfectly fine with me! Please let me know if you want me to draft a PR, in case you'd prefer not to do it yourself.

[BurntSushi]

A PR would be great, thanks. :)

This is fantastic @nalgeon ! .. is it me or are the colors hard to read?

[nalgeon]

Thank you! Yeah, the colors in dark mode could be better. I'm not very good with color palettes and contrast, to be honest 😅 But I'll look into it.
