It is great you're doing this, teachers will appreciate it.

Questions: - All paid plans say "Get started", but clicking those buttons does not lead to the paid features. Will there be paid plans? I can't access any teacher focused features like courses - Is this a fork? (based on the above it seems like it is, and help page is different) Will you accept community contributions? The github link at the bottom points to https://github.com/trinketapp/trinket-oss - If no open source contributions, will this be updated? The Java version is version 8, for example - What's the relationship between the hosted trinket and https://strivemath.org/ide? Will these be merged?

Again, thanks for hosting, looking forward to answers

Great questions! This is indeed a fork of the open source version. We're going to create an open source version of this fork when we've got it stable. The plans page has been kept for older users to know that those plans are free, and will continue to be free forever, we can make that more clear on that page. strivemath.org/ide will indeed be merged into this trinket version.

Trinket was first built more than 10 years ago, it's actually really interesting seeing how gpt 5.5 and Opus 4.8 are managing/struggling with modernizing the stack

i thought the plans were a clever jab at commercial services, but i also found them a bit confusing. now i see where you are coming from and that does make some sense. though maybe instead put one box in the center and write: all plans are merged and free.

i would also make clear what changed, if anything. are you really letting users host private courses on your servers? the middle plan says self host at the bottom, which is probably not what the original plan was about.

i'd also like to see a way to use the code editor without login. no server features. only save in the browser and allow downloading.
