# Riju

Riju is a very fast online playground for every programming language.
In less than a second, you can start playing with a Python interpreter
or compiling [INTERCAL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERCAL) code.

Check it out at the <https://riju.codes>!

## Is it free?

Riju will always be free for everyone. I pay for the hosting costs
myself.

A number of people have asked me if they can donate to help keep Riju
online. In response, I have set up [a Patreon
page](https://www.patreon.com/riju) where you can contribute. All
donations will be used solely to cover hosting costs, and any surplus
will be donated to the [Electronic Frontier
Foundation](https://www.eff.org/).

## Is it safe?

Riju does not collect your personal information.

* Your code is deleted from the server as soon as you close Riju.
* Your terminal input and output is never saved or logged anywhere.
* Riju uses [Fathom Analytics](https://usefathom.com/) to measure
  traffic. Fathom collects very limited data and does not sell it to
  third parties, unlike Google Analytics.
* Riju does not serve advertisements.

All of the above notwithstanding, any service that allows people to
run code online is inherently risky. For this reason, I can't make any
guarantees about the security or privacy of your data.
