# Pip

Pip is a pure front-end app (no backend, static export). Your profile lives in your
browser, not on a server. The poker engine is a pure, deterministic, unit-tested
TypeScript module with a seeded RNG — so "provably fair" means you can read exactly how
every hand is shuffled and dealt. There's a Daily Deal: one date-seeded tournament a day,
identical for everyone in the world, verifiable because the code is open.

Privacy: no accounts, no cookies, no personal data. The only analytics are anonymous and
cookieless (Umami); the privacy page lists exactly what is counted.

Every link under Pages and Blog points to the page's raw Markdown mirror, so the content
