Initial implementation of the idea. Plain "Interactive" feels like it might not be descriptive enough for new users, but lets brainstorm if we can find some better ideas.

I had an idea that at least one of the startup examples should contain the word "interactive".

My only concern is regarding translations. [Interactive] is a somewhat bulky word. In Russian, it's even longer ([Интерактивный]), though still acceptable. But how will it look in other languages? I'll try to do some quick research.

I did a quick check across all supported languages.
It turns out Finnish ([Interaktiivinen]) is the longest one in terms of visual width. @Managor Since you are Finnish, you'll know best if that feels too bulky! :D
So it seems Finnish acts as the "stress test" here. If it fits there, it should be fine everywhere else.

[Interaktiivinen] feels like a poor translation that nobody native would use. I'd use something like [Interaktiotila] which translates to [Interactive state].

Hmm, good point about the natural phrasing!
In Russian, using [Интерактивно] (Interactively) would also be more natural than the adjective form, and it saves 1 character. So we are consistently looking at a range of ~13-15 characters.
Even for Nepali, which has a higher character count, the visual width is roughly the same due to ligatures.
So I think this format is safe to proceed with.

I also like the idea of setting the context (like in the first example), making the subsequent [Interactive] tags intuitive.

I'll try something silly just to have a comparison. If you want, enter the ftp branch and add a russian translation just to see how it looks.
