# 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 or share data with any third
  party aside from Fathom Analytics.

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.
