What's the monetization model? This looks awesome, but it needs a way to pay the bills if its going to survive.

First thing i looked was a "pricing" page to send to my company bean counter!

i want that installed internally so we can send live code instead of boring pastebin links

I too wonder this. I assume runnable, jsfiddle, plnkr, etc. make money somehow, but I've always been curious as to how? I love the services and really appreciate them, but I don't get it.

Any ideas?

We are bringing down the unit economics of running the site to keep it up affordably. Apart from that, Runnable will continue to operate as a free service for developers.

We need the help of the community to maintain the site/content. If you'd like to help, feel free to drop me an email - yash [@] runnable.com

In the case of jsfiddle almost everything runs on the client, so the operating cost should be relatively low.
