Description

I get the feeling some users (including myself) do not realize that the Svelte REPL can be saved and forked by visitors of the REPL if their first introduction is simply the default hello world app. I'm wondering if something like https://svelte.dev/repl/2c06d586d890466e8dc7da6fb111efb7 would be a better intro to the REPL? Once you are familiar with the UI of the REPL it is easy to work with, but I suspect a good amount is overlooked initially by first timers.

Research direction

Start by comparing the current default Hello World introduction with the linked Svelte REPL example. Check where the REPL introduction is defined, then make the introductory experience show the relevant save and fork capabilities. Done means first-time visitors can discover those capabilities from the initial REPL experience.
