An other nice example might be the new haskell homepage http://new-www.haskell.org/
For the runnable part. Maybe we could use tmpnb/juliabox to host an example notebook. We should probably use a docker image with an userimages otherwise the attention span will be over before Gadfly is loaded. Does this work for more than 10 minutes? https://cfa4733.tmpnb.org/user-C6qXAatonjbQ/notebooks/Julia%20Test.ipynb#?
