Should we instruct them to add a Container first and put the shared Button component there?

Yes, they should create a container first

npx elsie generate container --pathname <MyContainer>

Then a UI component

npx elsie generate container --pathname <MyContainer>

how do I get my newly created Container to show up in the "Frontend Containers" area?

Update their sandbox environment to render their container that has the UI component (examples/html-host/index.html)

Is this content publicly available anywhere? https://elsie.dev/docs/

I see that it's still behind a permission wall thats based on GitHub users. If not, how would external developers know how to work with the SDK components?

@jcalcaben, it's not public yet. we plan to integrate the SDK storybook output from the elsie site with the current docs site to create a unified experience. last i heard, we need to do this for the April 8th marketing release window.

i assume that also means we should figure out how the content in this PR fits with that. @bdenham is going to look into it when he wraps up the summit lab workbook.

Overall this is good enough as a starting point. We'll probably need additional in depth guides on dropin development best practices.

I think we need to clean up the sandbox index.html file so that there is less to remove or comment out to get things working, but that can be its own PR.

Approved with acceptance of suggested changes. Nice job, Andy!
