About Paste
Paste is a web app for writing and sharing code. It can be used through the public instance at pastes.dev, from the command line with curl, and from code or scripts through an API.
The interface uses the Monaco Editor with syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, themes, zooming, and links to specific lines or sections. The frontend is open source, storage is handled by a separate service called bytebin, and users can host their own copy with Docker and Docker Compose.
