# Welcome

## What is pie?

PIE is a *very* fast editor, we would even say that is *may be faster then **Monaco**.* PIE uses Prism.js as the syntax highlighter for an editable `<code>` block as the input for the editor.

## Can we run our own server?

Yes, you can go to the `getting started` page to find out how to run your own.

## Can we help improve?

Yes, being an Open Source group, this allows you to edit the source code as long as you give us credit and do not sell **the editor** for any commercial purposes but you can sell a service for a website that you use the editor on as it is your own service as long as it is not just the editor alone with a new function. You can then go to your repo and create a push request.

The server supports the following providers:

* [Heroku](https://heroku.com)
* [Repl.it ](https://repl.it)
* Any device that can run node

> If there are more providers that support it - please create an issue on our repository.
