I know its not super useful but I think it would add to the wow factor.

Basically make the current help section into a real terminal that connects via WS to a container with our CLI installed and allow the user to interact with it as he would in his own terminal. (maybe active on click in case there is a performance penalty)
I've seen similar online terminals that anyone can use instantly.

I'm thinking that it would instead make sense to be part of the dashboard, similar to how AWS and GCS do it.
This way the user doesn't even have to leave the dash to run tests. Just click on a shell icon, and it should open a container shell with GP CLI pre-installed and some other networking tools.

Seems like lots of work and not very useful. We should focus on improving the UX of the main and send everyone there, not create other variations of it.

It doesn't sound too difficult, the majority of work is handled by libraries. But it would be a good way to promote the cli and offer a quick way to use GP inside the dash without building yet another UI.

We can promote the cli in dash for sure, but the best way to "use GP inside the dash" is to link the main website.

I'm not convinced, we can do it later but I think we still need to do it. Similar to AWS and GCS. Especially since Kiril has done it before, it should be much quicker to implement, maybe we can even copy some code from appfleet.
