Katbin
Katbin combines a lightweight text paste service with a URL shortener, built using Vite and Hono.
About Katbin
Katbin is a repository for a text paste service combined with a URL shortener. It is described as small and lightweight. The README describes a Vite application with one Hono Worker that stores relational data in D1, large pastes in R2, and account email through Email Service. The repository's own descriptions disagree on the stack: the About section says Elixir and Phoenix, while the README and the directory listing describe Vite and Hono.
The README covers local development. It explains how to install dependencies, start a local Worker with local D1 and R2 storage, and add local secrets to a .dev.vars file when a command needs them. It also lists test, check, type-check, and build commands. The project's public site is listed as katb.in.
