# 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 <https://riju.codes>!
Service uptime available at <https://riju.statuspage.io/>.
## 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.
See also [Reporting a security issue](SECURITY.md).
## Are there rules?
Yes, there is one rule and it is "please be nice". Examples of not
being nice include:
* *Trying to consume as many resources as possible.* All this will do
is prevent others from using Riju, which isn't nice.
* *Mining cryptocurrency.* Since hosting Riju comes out of my
paycheck, this is exactly equivalent to stealing, which isn't nice.
## Can I help?
Absolutely, please see [Contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
