Products that do what Pbnj – A minimal, self-hosted pastebin you can deploy in 60 seconds does
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. I just wanted something I could deploy in under a minute with a CLI that actually works. So I built pbnj (yes, like the sandwich). What it is: - A minimal, beautiful pastebin with syntax highlighting for 100+ languages - One-click deploy to Cloudflare (free tier gives you ~100,000 pastes) - CLI-first: pbnj file.py → get a URL, copied…

I would like to introduce Tabby, which is a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot that you can integrate into your hardware. While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby. We have also deployed the latest docker image to Huggingface for a live demo:…

Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

I built GetPost because I miss the simplicity of just SCPing files to a personal server, but I do not miss the maintenance burden. It's a pastebin/imagebin that runs on Cloudflare Workers with zero ongoing costs and zero maintenance. Key features: - Deploy in 5 minutes, runs free forever (100k reads, 1k uploads daily on CF free tier) - No complex toolchain - no NPM, no wrangler - just curl, python3, and a simple build script - Handles text, markdown (server-rendered), images, any file type up to 10MB - ULID-based access control with separate delete keys An interesting technical bit:…

What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

Hey developers I think we're tired of copying and pasting our codes and sharing links using PasteBin, GithubGist, or Slack. What if you could share the codes without copying the link and share them right from your favorite editor? That was the motivation for creating TurboGist. Right now, it's still in the MVP stage, and I'm trying to gather feedback from developers like you. It's available as a beta in the VS Code Extension store. Can you guys check this out? It'd help me a lot. You don't need to pay any penny, 100% FREE. However, I'm working on introducing a self-hosted feature. Besides, a…

This is a simple Pastebin clone I made using the Deno Typescript runtime. I created a simple templating system, and implemented server-side rendering for the UI. Demo: https://paste.jlcarveth.dev/

I built Fresh to challenge the status quo that terminal editing must require a steep learning curve or endless configuration. My goal was to create a fast, resource-efficient TUI editor with the usability and features of a modern GUI editor (like a command palette, mouse support, and LSP integration). Core Philosophy: - Ease-of-Use: Fundamentally non-modal. Prioritizes standard keybindings and a minimal learning curve. - Efficiency: Uses a lazy-loading piece tree to avoid loading huge files into RAM - reads only what's needed for user interactions. Coded in Rust. - Extensibility: Uses…

Chunk co-founder here. We spent the last 2 weeks building this to scratch our own itch: As developers, we often have problems that could be solved just by running a few lines of code. Sometimes, running this code on your local machine is fine. But other time, the code need to run automatically reacting to external events or to run continuously, which means, it needs to run on a server somewhere. So now, you have to find a cloud provider, to package or build the code and finally to deploy it. All of that for what could be literally be 4 lines of code. We couldn’t find an easier way to do…

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…

Inspired by the recent justfuckingusetailwind.com, I built a similar "love letter" to the Cloudflare ecosystem. I find myself reaching for Workers, R2, D1, and KV for almost every project lately, so I wanted to capture that sentiment in a single, slightly over-the-top page. It’s a simple side project, but the stack is: - Vite + TypeScript - Biome + Ultracite - Deployed (obviously) on Cloudflare First draft in Claude, the copy was drafted with Grok to get that specific tone, then I used Google's AI Studio to accelerate the build with touch up's in Cursor. Link:…

I've created a quick application that stores data in IPFS (http://ipfs.io) which is a distributed web implementation. It's working as expected, paste some content, get a hash in the url and send to a friend. The content will be there forever and distributed to peers that asks for it. Demo: http://ipfsbin.xyz/#QmXdMvJaRrSTCAcDFMZLUFfm9uGK6Wq7qEVcwbvaQRxq8x This have a couple of advantages, mainly that the same content would have the same hash, meaning that things wouldn't be duplicated. Source is available for people interested in that here:…

Hello HN. This is my first webapp. It works like a pastebin, in which you can visually keep track of the changes you and others make to it. I was a little reluctant about posting it here because I'm not sure it meets the HN quality standards, but, as a beginner, I would really appreciate to have some feedback and/or tips. The url is: http://srctree.net/ An example of usage: http://srctree.net/1 Thanks!

Hi HN, I built a free, and completely open source, visual studio code extension, which generates tweets based on commits you select. While I was working on webtilities.com, an idea came to me: wouldn't it be cool that I could market this thing inside my editor. Ah, i'm truly lazy. Well, I spent a week building this thing that I bet no one will need because: * "This wont work. My commit messages are terrible" * "This is stupid, I can just use ChatGPT/Gemini/[Insert Chat Platform] directly" * "This is stupid, I get BILLED for using openai tokens" ... And the list goes on. But, I…
