Hidetext.sh – encrypted pastebin where the server never sees the key▲7
Hi HN! I built hidetext.sh — a way to share text, code, and files through links the server can't read. How it works: your browser generates a random key and encrypts everything locally (NaCl secretbox, XSalsa20-Poly1305). Only ciphertext is uploaded. The key goes into the URL fragment — the part after # — which browsers never send to servers. The link carries the key, my server stores the locked box, and the two only meet in a browser. A design detail I'm fairly happy with: burn-after-read doesn't destroy the paste on the first HTTP request. The naive version means a Slack or iMessage link…

Stasher – Burn-after-read secrets from the CLI, no server, no trust▲72
Stasher is a tiny CLI tool that lets you share encrypted secrets that burn after reading — no accounts, no logins, no servers to trust. I built it because I just wanted to share a password. Not spin up infra. Not register for some "secure" web app. Not trust Slack threads. Just send a secret. Secrets are encrypted client-side with AES-256-GCM. You get a `uuid:key` token to share. Once someone reads it, it's gone. If they don't read it in 10 minutes, it expires and deleted. Everything is verifiable. Every release is signed, SLSA-attested, SBOM-included, and logged in the Rekor transparency…

YABin – Yet another pastebin that's simple but feature-rich▲6
I've been self-hosting https://privatebin.net for a long time now but there were some annoying issues: no way to turn off encryption, API is complicated, no raw support on the page directly and worst of all: no keyboard shortcuts. I've looked at a bunch of other OSS solutions and all of them (atleast the ones I could find) didn't really have all the features that I needed. So I made this. Optional E2E encryption with optional password protection, keyboard shortcuts (kinda a WIP), simple-ish REST-ish API for making CLIs, direct raw file display & download (with optional server-side…
