Scalability Guide
Small: individual snippets and demos
Medium: multi-file front-end tests
Large: complex prototypes may require local IDE
Enterprise: not recommended for production apps
Global: shareable via URLs for community collaboration
Migration Guide
Export code manually for local development
Fork existing fiddles for version control
Copy code to other online IDEs if needed
Link external resources consistently after migration
