One of the most painful experiences (at least in my opinion) is managing live demos to showcase your new Wordpress theme to the world. You usually need to set up and maintain a multisite instance for multiple themes. And, it becomes more complex if you want to give potential users access to the admin to actually explore it. It's a headache and management nightmare.

What if you didn't need to do all of that?

That's where WordPress Playground comes in, especially its Blueprints API: https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/blueprints-api/index

You can easily provide a demo (even multiple demos with their own configurations) by simply providing a blueprint to Playground.

My proposal is to write a guide on using Playground to showcase your theme.

We have some working examples in the current Block Theme Examples repo (click the links in the README to see how this works): https://github.com/WordPress/block-theme-examples
