Best practices for sharing external learning resources in st community

[allison9]

Hi everyone,

I had a quick question about sharing external learning or demo resources in st community threads. Sometimes people link out to simple web-based tools or examples to explain concepts or keep discussions engaging, and I’ve noticed mixed reactions depending on the link. For example, I’ve seen references like lettersboxed.com used just as a lightweight example rather than a core dependency.

Are there specific guidelines or best practices here to make sure these kinds of links don’t get flagged or misunderstood? I’m also curious about related concerns like security checks, long-term link reliability, and whether it’s better to describe the example in text instead of linking directly. How do others usually handle this?
