Questions
Can I embed 0cloud in my app?
Use Uncontained, the same engine as an SDK.
Does Node.js run unmodified?
The real Node 26.13 binary is in the machine. By default it runs on the browser’s JavaScript engine for speed and falls back to the binary by itself.
Is 0cloud free?
Yes, it runs on your own computer.
