Problem/Motivation

As you know, the good news is that https://www.drupal.org/project/pm/issues/3345676 is now resolved and Drupal PM successfully work on simplytest.me Joy :)

The first challenge is that for newcomers to Drupal PM, this present project page at https://www.drupal.org/project/pm/ does not include a link to the simplytest.me demo.

The second challenge is that, for newcomers to Drupal PM, simplytest.me might be out of their present reach. Because on this form https://simplytest.me/ there are lots of fields to configure appropriately to be able to launch a successful demo.

How to resolve those two challenges above? For your consideration and for your decision, down below is my quick and easy suggested resolution. By "quick" I mean, for other past projects at Ubertus, this resolution took us less than 5 minutes. Minus our initial one time learning curve.

Steps to reproduce

1. As newcomer and end-user of Drupal PM (PM), go to https://www.drupal.org/project/pm

2. On this project page above, search for a link to a demo of PM. There are none. This is the first challenge.

3. Go to https://simplytest.me

4. As newcomer to both https://simplytest.me and PM, try to manually configure this page above to launch a PM demo. Risk is really high that the launch will fail. Because only the 4.1.x-dev works. Others won't this is expected. But newcomers do not know this. Most likely, newcomer will give up after their first failure.

Proposed resolution

On PM project page at https://www.drupal.org/project/pm/ add a link to https://simplytest.me/configure?project=pm&version=4.1.x-dev

This simplytest link above will automatically appropriately configure the simplytest form. Easy. End-user just need to click on the Launch button.

As you probably know, when editing this project page above, there is a field to add external link and test on the link. In that field, simply paste this URL. Done. Easy. Quick.

The number 2 in this screenshot below shows the Demo field to edit at the PM project page.

In the future, when PM has a new version released, I suggest periodically updating the link above appropriately. For example:
From:
https://simplytest.me/configure?project=pm&version=4.1.x-dev

To:
https://simplytest.me/configure?project=pm&version=4.2.x-dev

@d34dman, This is to confirm that both the link and the action button you added successfully work 💚
Good idea the green action button. For newcomers this is likely easier to find and use than the link.

@All, For those not familiar with that link and button this screenshot below shows their location.
success
