Wandbox is an online service with which source code snippets in many programming languages compile and run.
This service has been made and maintained by @melponn and @kikairoya.
Currently, it is running on three Sakura VPS 2G Plan servers. It takes JPY56,310 a year as the running cost.
It is a hard way to cope with the operating expenses by ourselves.
Therefore, we are soliciting private and company sponsors who support Wandbox.
We ask for cooperation from individuals and companies who usually use Wandbox.
If you become a sponsor, your name is displayed on the Wandbox top page for one year.
The display is something like (UI might change as the situation demands):
(The image goes here)
The number of accesses to Wandbox is 5,000~8,000PV a day, and about 180,000PV a month.
If there are so many sponsors that the UI is displayed badly or usability becomes worse, we might change the way how private sponsors are displayed.
We plan to keep the names of company sponsors displayed on the top of the page.
The company sponsor fee is JPY28,155.
The private sponsor fee is more than or equal to JPY2,600.
Remittance methods are described below.
Please make the payment by bank transfer.
Please email to shigemasa7watanabe@gmail.com for inquiries.
JPY28,155 amounts to half the current annual running cost.
That is, if two companies become our sponsors, we are not in deficit.
If we are so fortunate as to have more than two company sponsors, we decide to go to eat delicious food while thanking the sponsors.
(The following remittance method is available only in Japan.)
Please send us an amount of money more than or equal to JPY2,600 by an E-mail Type Amazon Gift Card.
The email address of the recipient is shigemasa7watanabe@gmail.com.
The sender's name is used as the displayed name.
If the message of the gift card does not specify the details, and the sender's name looks like a Twitter ID, we put a link from the displayed name to the Twitter account page.
Please feel free to write what you want to say in the message of the gift card.
However, if you request a href URL of the sponsor, Twitter ID, etc., we put a link from the displayed name to the corresponding URL.
If you say "no need for sponsorship display" in the message, we do not display your name. We will just thank you.
JPY2,600 amounts to spencer roll steak 400g at the Japanese steak restaurant Ikinari! Steak (as of 2016-03-13).
That is, each time someone sends us an Amazon Gift Card, we can have spencer roll steak 400g at Ikinari! Steak.
It increases our motivation, and the more motivation we have, the more likely are new compilers, versions, and libraries added to Wandbox.
2017-03-14追記:
いきなりステーキは税抜き表示だからリブロースステーキ400gは食べられない という指摘を頂きました。
ただ一度公開した金額を変えるのは微妙なので、変わらず2,600円で募集します…。
Students seem to use Wandbox a lot.
However, we feel very sorry towards students who donate to us.
So, students, please do not become a sponsor. Please feel free to use Wandbox.
If you have any scruples about using Wandbox for free,
please treat @melponn and @kikairoya to something when you graduate and begin working.
If you treat us to something amounting to more than or equal to JPY2,600 when you meet us in person, we display your name as a private sponsor.
