This GitHub Actions + GitHub Pages feature looks like the use case I would be looking to exploit for educational purposes.
From this: https://github.com/jupyterlite/demo you can easily get to https://jupyterlite.github.io/demo
In case anyone wants to be helpful, I would love to see a guide to how to use this to transparently display where files are stored so that I could figure out how to automatically commit my changes or something like that. Each repository could be a lesson and worksheet for a coding/class, or even a collection of lessons. I imagine it would be fairly straightforward to create an interaction mode as well, for non-coders to ogle at other's charts and tables and interactive bokeh plots creations.
The format is only partially invented, it follows Jupytext [0], but adds support for cell metadata. There is no obvious way to get that in fenced codeblocks, especially with the ability to spread it over multiple lines so it plays well with version control.
One more consideration is that it's not "Markdown with code blocks interspersed", one might as well use plaintext or AsciiDoc.
Of course there are tradeoffs.. I wish I had more time to work on it.

I think JupyterLite is using localStorage by default. But there are File System APIs for WASM and some external projects[0], I don't think they're yet integrated.
This looks great and as an R guy makes me rather jealous. Any chance that R will get compilation to wasm? There's this but it seems dead: https://github.com/iodide-project/r-wasm

There was some work (and POC) on getting pyodide to work as a thebe backend. You can check out this thread: https://github.com/executablebooks/thebe/issues/465 and other issues/PRs backlinked to it. I don't think anything like that has shipped yet, but definitely worth exploring (in the meantime the usual mybinder backend[1] for jupyter books works great, i.e. you don't have to host yourself).
