Topic: downloadable CLI platform

as of this PR, the basic-cli platform (formerly known as examples/cli/cli-platform) is now downloadable from a URL!

this means you no longer need to clone the Roc repo to go through the tutorial - all you need is to download a nightly Roc release and you're all set!

also, the docs have moved from e.g. https://www.roc-lang.org/examples/cli/Stdout#line to https://www.roc-lang.org/packages/basic-cli/Stdout#line

The nightlies containing that PR are building right now, with the exception of those for MacOS x86_64. We'll try to fix those.

roc-lang/basic-cli is this what you are looking for?

no. I saw that Richard shared a link to basic_cli docs which I didn't know existed
but seems to be gone now

oh yeah https://www.roc-lang.org/packages/basic-cli/Stdout is 404ing - I guess the CI task to deploy them got messed up somehow :sweat_smile:

at some point docs generation started including only exposed modules (previously it generated docs for all modules, even private ones) which broke docs generation...this should fix that!
