Nobins

Nobins is a zero-knowledge pastebin for sharing encrypted text.

The browser encrypts paste content before it is sent to the server. The server stores encrypted data and never receives the decryption key.

Paste links keep the decryption key after the # hash.
Browsers do not send that hash fragment to the server, so the key stays client-side.
