 Replying to [comment:68 jeffparker]:
 > @tellyworth Can there be a way to enable 3rd party API calls?  For
 example, Jetpack plugin needs to make a 3rd party call to setup.
 Currently, it doesn't appear to be able to setup in Playground.

 There are two parts to this.

 One, there is an ongoing issue about supporting network connections in
 Playground: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/85

 Two, there's the question of how plugins that require network access
 should present themselves to the user when newly installed. My sense is
 that this needs to be solved with a combination of things:

 * Blueprint support should allow configuring ready-to-go demo content in
 live previews based on Playground.
 * Plugins ought to gracefully degrade in a situation where an external
 network or API is unavailable. (This goes beyond Playground: people test
 plugins locally and on staging sites; and even in prod network
 connectivity may be limited or lost at times)
