Signal K Playground: a serverless ui to see what Signal K messages look like

Signal K

Signal K is a modern and open data format for marine use. Built on standard web technologies including JSON, WebSockets and HTTP, Signal K provides a method for sharing information in a way that is friendly to WiFi, cellphones, tablets and the Internet. A format available to everyone, where anyone can contribute, Signal K is the first truly open data format for the marine industry and is set to revolutionize how we consume and interact with data on boats.

playground's Issues

Validation errors

This is possibly more a specification issue than a playground issue, but putting here for a start anyway
source doesnt allow primitive, so a ref to actual source doesnt work
source wants label so same problem
vessel.motu is not valid, it wants a valid mmsi, but unique text name should be allowed
timestamp is ignored at least, maybe causing an error too.

Connect to server & validation tool

Add "connect to server" option. Validation could stop the input on validation errors and optionally add paths to "whitelist" so that all input passes, allowing one to use Playground as a validation tool.

Add image to Readme

Gist input by url

Allow linking so that the url can include a gist reference.

The gist can include delta or full to be loaded.

The url could specify automatic conversion to full so that a delta gist would result in both delta & full population.
