Terms of Use

Last updated: 28 May 2026

The short version

lab.bycracus is a personal portfolio of small interactive simulations. It runs entirely inside your browser. There is no backend, no account, and no data is uploaded to a server. You can use the site freely — but you take responsibility for any content you bring to it, and the site is provided as-is with no warranty.

1. What this site is

lab.bycracus is a creative experiment by bycracus. It hosts a growing catalogue of visual simulations that you can configure and record as short videos. All processing happens locally in your browser using HTML Canvas. Recorded videos are downloaded directly to your device. Nothing is sent to a server we control.

2. Your use of the site

You agree to:

  • Use the site only for lawful purposes, in good faith.
  • Follow the Acceptable Use Policy, especially when uploading images.
  • Not attempt to break, abuse, or reverse-engineer the site to harm anyone.
  • Take responsibility for any content (e.g. images you upload locally) that you bring into the simulator.

3. Content you bring

Some simulations (currently Photo Sort) allow you to load an image from your own device. That image stays in your browser — it is not uploaded to any server we operate. By choosing to load an image, you confirm that you have the right to use it and that it complies with the Acceptable Use Policy. We do not pre-screen content, and we have no way to see what you load.

If you then download a recorded clip that contains your image, that clip is yours to do with as you wish — including the responsibility for what is in it.

4. Intellectual property

The code, design, and simulations on lab.bycracus belong to bycracus. You are welcome to view the source for learning purposes. You may not republish, rehost, or commercialise the simulations as your own work. Clips you record using your own content (e.g. your own uploaded photos) are yours to use freely, including commercially.

5. No warranty

The site is provided "as is" with no guarantees. Simulations may have bugs, recording may fail on some browsers, and the catalogue changes over time. We make no promise of uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose.

6. Liability

To the extent allowed by law, bycracus is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site. You use it at your own risk.

7. Changes

These terms may change as the site grows. The "last updated" date at the top of this page is authoritative. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new version.

8. Contact

Questions, takedown requests, or anything else: reach out via the bycracus.com contact channels.
