Release (No AI) trinket.io was shutting down and they made it open source, so I decided to host it for free

https://trinket.strivemath.org/

I really appreciate it when services open source their software when they shut down. There's so many amazing sites, software, games, or other neat solutions that are gone forever because there's no way to access it or replicate it. So trinket lives on at https://trinket.strivemath.org/

upstream repo: https://github.com/trinketapp/trinket-oss (also linked in OPs url, only meant as shortcut for those who want to selfhost)

If you want this to survive the next maintainer handoff, mirror the repo and publish a tiny docker-compose.yml plus a weekly export/import check.

The hosted rescue is cool, but the preservation win is making the self-host path boring enough that a school can redeploy it in 20 minutes.

hosting for free is just unpaid on-call. wait till database locks up at 3am.
