Everything needed to run jsPsych experiments online

Pigeon Softworks is designed for researchers who can build an experiment, but do not want to maintain their own deployment, preview, hosting and data collection pipeline.

Start a projectView pricing
Upload experiment files

Bring your existing jsPsych project files into one workspace, including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, images, audio, video and other study assets.

Preview participant experience

Run experiments in a sandboxed preview so you can check what participants will actually see before sharing a study link.

Generate runtime wrappers

When an experiment does not include its own HTML entry point, Pigeon can generate a minimal runtime wrapper around your jsPsych code.

Validate common issues

Surface common problems before launch, including missing files, likely plugin issues, runtime errors and experiment-start problems.

Deploy hosted study links

Publish a participant-ready runtime link without setting up your own web server, deployment pipeline or static hosting configuration.

Collect study data

Collect experiment output from hosted runs and export structured data for analysis in the tools you already use.

Research workflow

From local files to participant-ready study

Pigeon is not trying to replace jsPsych. It is designed to sit around it: helping you move from experiment code to a hosted, previewed and shareable study link with less deployment work.

The goal is to make online experiment deployment feel like part of the research workflow, not a separate engineering project.

Typical workflow
  1. 1
    Create a project
    Start with a clean container for your study files and settings.
  2. 2
    Upload your experiment files
    Add your jsPsych code, HTML, CSS and experiment assets.
  3. 3
    Preview and validate the study
    Run the study in a controlled preview before launch.
  4. 4
    Publish a hosted runtime link
    Create a participant-facing link without configuring your own server.
  5. 5
    Collect and export data
    Download structured data for analysis and record keeping.

Built around preview fidelity and safer execution

Experiments are run inside an isolated preview environment, so researchers can test study behaviour without mixing experiment code directly into the main application interface.

Currently in early adopter phase

Core platform features are currently available free while Pigeon is tested with real research workflows and refined through researcher feedback.
