24 alternatives to Code pastes in local storage, shared via Web Sockets

I thought it would be great to share code snippets without saving them on a server, so I created http://mem.pe It allows you to paste code and save it in your browser's local storage. When you share the URL of the pasted code, other people will connect to it via web sockets. For example, this http://mem.pe/#sge/5 you will be pulling from my browser. I'll keep it open for a while. If you close the web app, your code paste will not be available for anyone to see, until you open the web app again. This is obviously, not suitable for using at forums and other places…

Mem.pe is a code sharing tool that stores snippets in a browser's local storage rather than on a server. Users paste code, then share a URL that connects others via WebSockets to view the snippet directly from their… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi HN, We use Claude Code a lot, and after a long session there isn't a simple way to share exactly what happened with someone else. Prompts, responses, file edits, and tool calls all stay inside the terminal. We built Claudebin to make that easier. It's a plugin that lets you export the current session as a URL containing: - the full message thread - file reads and writes - bash commands - web and MCP calls You can send the link to someone, attach it to a PR, embed part of it, or resume the session locally. It's open source. GitHub:…

    Hi HN, TL;DR Memex is a cross-platform desktop app for vibe coding. Think ChatGPT + Claude Code rolled into one. Why we built it: We love chat tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT. We also love coding agents, like in Cursor and Windsurf. We don’t like that web-based app builders are opinionated about tech stack and we can’t run them locally. So, we built Memex to be a chat tool + coding agent that supports any tech stack. What it can do today: Claude Code-like coding. Agentic web search / research. Pre-built templates (e.g. fullstack, iOS, python + modal, etc). Inline data analysis + viz.…

    Hey HN! We're Deshraj and Taranjeet. We've been building working on a startup called Mem0, building an open-source memory layer for AI apps and agents (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41447317). We also kept running into our own daily frustrations with AI assistants forgetting everything between conversations. Over a weekend, we decided to hack together a Chrome extension to solve this for ourselves. The problem was simple: we were constantly re-explaining our context across platforms when switching between ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Start a coding discussion in…
