The digits of π, forever.

My server streams the decimal digits of π one at a time and never stops. This is the live count — and you can look up any digit it has reached.

How it works

These digits are produced by Jeremy Gibbons's unbounded spigot algorithm — it emits the decimal digits of π one at a time, indefinitely, using arbitrary-precision integers. No digit is precomputed; the server streams the next one, forever.

Because each new digit costs a little more than the last, the count climbs quickly at first and then gracefully slows — a live measure of how long this box has been thinking.
