Pbnj – A minimal, self-hosted pastebin you can deploy in 60 seconds
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…
Pbnj – A minimal, self-hosted pastebin you can deploy in 60 seconds launched on December 5, 2025 with 69 votes, #399 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Pbnj is a minimal, self-hosted pastebin designed for quick deployment and ease of use. It offers syntax highlighting for over 100 languages, a CLI-first interface for sharing files directly, and memorable random URLs. The service can be deployed to Cloudflare's free tier in under a minute and supports private pastes with optional secret keys. It intentionally omits complex features like accounts, OAuth, git integration, and multi-user support, making it ideal for developers who want a straightforward paste-sharing tool without unnecessary overhead.

Tabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot2023 · github.com · ▲627I 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:…

- GSGetPost – "Self-hostable" pastebin that runs free on CF Workers2025 · staging.getpost.workers.dev · ▲5
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:…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
