Binder allows you to create custom computing environments that can be shared and used by many remote users. It is powered by BinderHub, which is an open-source tool that deploys the Binder service in the cloud. One-such deployment lives at mybinder.org, and is free to use. For more information about the mybinder.org deployment and the team that runs it, see About mybinder.org.
