However they have recently set a limit of only 3 projects if you are on the Free Version and you would have to pay money to do more than this so it's not so handy anymore.

You would have to create an account and sign in and then you can work away and save your projects. Replit is a bit more advanced than Trinket - it doesn't have the sample projects and it has other options not just Python.
