One way to provide this kind of thing is to use J transpiled to Javascript [0] (I hope Joe Bogner doesn't mind me plugging his repo). You can run this to try out all the J primitives (more or less). And its all in the browser so the website hosting it needs no extra backend infrastructure. I think it would be good for playing around with J's primitives and making some simple one liners etc.

Making an educational website akin to TryAPL[0] would greatly benefit the J community, especially when the website is powered by J and open source.
