I have a proof of concept share/import feature for elm-lang.org/try
It uses the location.hash trick as in play.rust, was so simple I'm now thinking that this is perhaps an unwanted feature.
Here is the patch:https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-lang.org/commit/cd735fb82955dd86579f0350e74d0beb5b481d93 if there is some interest I can make a pull request and refine it (add a shortener and a length check, for example).
Cheers,
Matteo
PS
the branch is hacked to work opening locally the prova/index.html file.

FWIW, I'd definitely want such feature. I think it is really useful for my use cases (schools and such).

Concerning the question whether this is a wanted feature at http://elm-lang.org/, there is this comment by Evan: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-lang.org/issues/519#issuecomment-218553560

Sounds like you should check out (and maybe contribute to) ElmFiddle.io!

I'd like to have this basic functionality in the official "try" too, but I'll have a look at ElmFiddle.io !

Evan's comment on the issue sounds as if he thinks the code has to be stored serverside or something. Otherwise I'm not sure where the maintenance burden he's referring to lies.

Yes, I've had the same idea, using the history only has no back-end maintenance burden, "only" a front-end will-work-now-on implicit contract.
Going on with the UI, I have added 2 more buttons in the command bar:
- Import that reads from the location.hash
- Share that puts the code encodeURIComponent'ed in the url as hash
The only automatic import is done at loading time.
Suggestions for a better workflow?

One way you could potentially rely on having access to Github Gists. Sign in with a Github account and then you could use this command to save the snippet as a Gist: https://developer.github.com/v3/gists/#create-a-gist. Then all the sever would do is pull it from Github, and send it back in a html page form to be compiled client side.
