    Dropbud – A place to upload files without uploading▲21

    Hi veterans of HN. Felt the need to paste and save important texts and api keys without creating a file and uploading to drive. thats where the idea kicked in. So I just go there, paste my things and make workspaces (like servers in discord) to keep them tidy.You can also share them workspaces with friends and colleagues after you sign in. Give it a go, HN.
