First, well done! It works great. Eli, what would it take to host this at `try.racket-lang.org`?
A few small things: - the error messages for `circle` don't have any indentation, unlike what they do in DrRacket - I think the "Go!" section is too long for a single box -- it didn't quite fit on my monitor. The "Lists" section is also long. - Typing multiple line text causes it to be indented slightly wrong. - The identifiers in the text should be set in typewriter font - There's some wrong indentation in some of the code in the prose. - Loading the planet package seems to take quite a while, which means it's probably actually loading it. Best to make sure that doesn't happen. - An older version had a nice message if you typed 'next' on the last screen. And a few larger things: - You might be able to add tab-completion for identifiers, using the namespace the way that the `readline` library does it. - The section on local binding in the tutorial probably needs revision, since it encourages `let` instead of internal `define`, but modern Racket style goes the other way. - It would be great to hyperlink parts of the text to the documentation automatically. Perhaps the way the examples on the web pages work would help [1]. This is probably complicated to set up, though. Again, awesome!
