In plain words

Runme is a terminal pastebin integrated directly into documentation. It allows users to write, share, and execute code snippets and commands within their docs environment. Designed for developers and technical writers, Runme lets teams run terminal commands from documentation without switching applications, making it useful for tutorials, runbooks, and collaborative documentation workflows.

Learn how Runme brings securely shareable GitHub Gists to your day-to-day DevOps workflows and documentation. Pastebins make me nostalgic. I’m told they existed well before the web in the IRC days. The first notable one I remember, Pastebin.com , was created in 2002 by Paul Dixon , introducing features like syntax highlighting and private pastes. Believe it or not, it’s still going strong today. The latest incarnation I remember using recently was PostBin (clever: Pastebin for Webhooks). It made testing “web callbacks” remarkably easy. Of course, if you are using Git, you know GitHub’s Gist, which launched back in 2008. Despite technological advancements, Pastebin's core purpose remains the…from runme.dev

    Hi HN — I’m learning Rust and decided to build a universal CLI for running code in many languages. The tool, Run, aims to be a single, minimal dependency utility for: running one-off snippets (from CLI flags), running files, reading and executing piped stdin, and providing language-specific REPLs that you can switch between interactively. I designed it to support both interpreted languages (Python, JS, Ruby, etc.) and compiled languages (Rust, Go, C/C++). It detects languages from flags or file extensions, can compile temporary files for compiled languages, and exposes a unified REPL…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
