Compute

What compute means on this site

Compute is a plain-English way to describe how much work a tool is doing. It is influenced by input size, run time, and whether the tool runs mainly in your browser or uses a small server helper.

Why browsers have limits

Browsers share CPU, memory, battery, and thermals with everything else you are doing. Tools that push too hard can freeze tabs or drain devices. That is why the free tier concept is set slightly below typical safe limits.

Browser powered vs server assisted

Browser powered tools run on your device and are typically fast and private. Server assisted tools use a bounded helper for lookups or transformations that browsers cannot do well.

What will remain free

All course notes and learning content.
Lightweight tools and normal use within the free tier.

What may be limited later

Very large inputs or files.
Repeated heavy runs with the same settings.
Advanced options that increase compute significantly.

Limits are not enforced in this build. The goal right now is transparency so nothing is surprising later.
