I'm helping Anton with the new roc-lang/examples repository, and it would be really helpful to get some feedback from the community with ideas. The goal is to populate the repo with meaningful content so that it provides value to the community, and also tests Roc design assumptions.

It would be really helpful if you can think of one or more ideas and drop them in a comment below. Bonus points if you can make a working example and share a gist too. :wink:

The Examples repository should provide working code that solves a specific need for a user. It should be as easy as navigating to a relevant example, copying it into a file, and now you have working code!

The aim is to support a variety of needs such as; application templates, content for guides and tutorials, and helpful scripts etc.

Other thoughts;

Here are some examples of examples that I can think of to seed your creativity;

I think cookbooks like these can also provide a lot of inspiration:
