Revery: Examples: Publish our WebGL examples

[bryphe]

Now that we have text rendering in WebGL (thanks @jchavarri !), I'm thinking it makes sense to publish our WebGL examples to a website - either GH pages or using netlify or something. It'd be a really easy way for people to try things out without needing to set up to start.

Was just thinking this last night! If we get a logo & what not together we can just make an official website for this. Also, would be great if we could integrate the Reason compiler to have an interactive demo/tutorial there (not sure how feasible that is)

[bryphe]

Yes, this would be great!

I love the idea of an interactive demo/tutorial. Seems totally doable, @thangngoc89 has done some incredible work on Sketch: https://github.com/Sketch-sh/sketch-sh that shows how to evaluate JSOO in the browser. He also has a great series of blog posts on his development: https://khoanguyen.me/

In addition, he pointed me to the JSOO examples: http://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/3.1.0/manual/files/toplevel/index.html - great demonstration that it is feasible!

I could see this happening incrementally, in 3 stages:
1) Publish the JS-compiled WebGL apps standalone
2) Publish them in a way where we can have the source-code read-only next to the examples (for example, would be nice to have it set up so that, with #158 , when you switch examples - we switch to the correct source code)
3) Publish them in a way where they are editable (perhaps we pre-compile all of Revery in a way that we can integrate with the JSOO top-level, and then expose the individual example modules as something that we can compile in the browser)

But I think this would really get people interested in revery. Zero friction to try the examples and experiment with the API!

Ping me if you need my helps. all of those should be easy. but 3 would be scary because you won't have any protection against bad code

Not sure if you guys are aware of Github's name squatting policy, but we could potentially get the Revery username so we can get revery.github.io.

We have editable samples now at our playground: https://www.outrunlabs.com/revery/playground/ so this is all set 👍

@bryphe I think it would be nice to include a single sample outside of the playground somewhere to see how big/small an optimised revery app can be in the browser. I might have missed that on the site somewhere?

This is interesting! Got a link to a WebGL example?
