For example, to spin Playground with the Gutenberg plugin one needs to simply pass the plugin slug to Playground https://playground.wordpress.net/ ?plugin=gutenberg. Apart from this Playground supports several other https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/query-api/. Remembering or crafting URLs with this query parameter may not be intuitive for non-tech folks. To make this more user-friendly, we…
