Description
IMO, it is more user friendly for the playground to run as a background process. Then the user can use the playground without starting a new terminal. The playground should give info for how to stop the playground along with the other info it gives on startup.

Research direction
Start from the playground command and its startup output. Trace how the playground process currently occupies the console, then determine the existing stop mechanism before changing it to run in the background. Done means users can keep using the same terminal and startup output explains how to stop the playground.
