Support OpenDSA

OpenDSA is 100% free and open source. We believe everyone should have access to quality algorithm visualizations for learning. No paywalls. No premium tiers. Just pure, open education.

Why Support Us?

We’re committed to keeping OpenDSA free forever. Your support helps us:

Host reliable infrastructure - Fast servers, CDN, and uptime
Develop new features - More algorithms, better visualizations
Maintain the project - Bug fixes, security updates, documentation
Grow the community - Events, educational content, outreach

Current Hosting

OpenDSA is currently hosted on Vercel’s free tier. As the project grows, we may need to scale to handle more traffic and features.
