    I'm sure folks here have seen pastebins a thousand times. There's no innovation left in this space – and that's kind of the point. When I wanted to self-host a pastebin, every option I found was too much. Git-based version control, OAuth, elaborate admin panels.

Every release is signed, SLSA-attested, SBOM-included, and logged in the Rekor transparency…
