Pastebin clone on top of IPFS

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:…

In plain words

IPFSbin is a paste-sharing application built on IPFS, a distributed web implementation. Users paste content, receive a unique hash, and can share the link with others. The content persists permanently and is distributed across peer networks. It is designed for anyone needing to share text snippets online. The application eliminates duplication by assigning identical hashes to matching content, making it efficient and decentralized.
