Pastefy

Product Overview

Pastefy is a self-hosted pastebin service that offers a range of features to make sharing and storing text snippets easy and secure. With Pastefy, users can create public or private pastes, opt-in for ephemeral snippets that are deleted after 60 minutes, and view usage statistics. The platform also provides three different views for presenting text: Raw View, Reader View, and Code View, which includes syntax highlighting.

Main Features

• Post pastes publicly or privately: Create shares of text that can be accessed by others.
• Opt-in ephemeral snippets: Create temporary pastes that are deleted after 60 minutes.
• Usage statistics: View how many times your pastes have been viewed and shared.
• List of all public pastes: Browse a list of publicly available pastes.
• Raw View, Reader View, and Code View: Present text in different formats for easy reading or copying.
• CLI client: Use the command-line interface to pipe text and get back the URL (e.g., cat file.txt | nc exbin.call-cc.be 9999).
• API: Integrate Pastefy with other services using its API.
