Turbine

^{A modern and open-source twist to classic pastebin sites.}

What is this?

Turbine originally started out as a simple pastebin idea so I could have a nice place to host all of my long messages and source code files. In other words, something similar to Hastebin: a simple and minimalistic paste site. It comes with simple features but nothing too advanced, such as accounts or theme customization.

And so why not create something similar to GitHub Gist? It has features like secret gists and because it's a mini-git repository, you're able to view past revisions on those gists. I strive Turbine to have many of these features inspired by GitHub Gist while still maintaining a clear and straightforward UI.

TL;DR: It's a pastebin.

Features:

• A modern and straightforward UI
• Password-protected and private pastes
• Public, discoverable pastes
• User accounts
• Automatic (and manually selected) code highlighting
• Theme and font customization
• Paste stars

TODO:

• Drafts
• Expiring pastes
• Paste editing and edit history

Low priority:

• Code evaluation

Contributing

If you'd like to contribute to Turbine, make sure you meet the following requirements:

For the Rust backend:

• Code has been built and checked with cargo check
• Code is formatted with cargo fmt

For the Next.js frontend:

• Code works properly

As a general rule of thumb:

• Commit messages should be in present tense, e.g. Add feature instead of Added feature
• Keep lines of code under 120 characters long

Self-hosting?

I don't plan on providing instructions or support for anyone who tries to self-host this. I would prefer you don't self-host your own instance of Turbine and instead use the official instance here.

There is nothing stopping you from self-hosting, though. But please abide by the license.
