Hey all - we recently added a nifty new feature tosphinx-gallery that automatically generates Binder links for each sphinx gallery example. See the sphinx gallery docs as an example:

https://sphinx-gallery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auto_examples/sin_func/plot_sin.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-sin-func-plot-sin-py

I think it'd be cool if we had this for Matplotlib (e.g. each example would have a "launch binder" button at the bottom that could open an interactive version of the example for users).

However, there are a few caveats here:

1. Matplotlib docs get aton of users, and this might have unexpected results onmybinder.org if a gigantic influx of people happens. At the least, we'd likely hit the per-repo limit of 100 concurrent Binder sessions.
2. Binder is still in beta (e.g. it won't have 100% uptime, though is pretty close to this, and may occasionally drop off if we have an outage)

That said, it'd be pretty cool if each of our users was one click away from interacting w/ the matplotlib examples on each page.

What do folks think about this? If we're +1 giving it a shot, I can put together a PR activating the Binder links on the matplotlib docs.
