paste

A sensible pastebin.

Unfinished: some features do not work

See the issues.

Idea

Pretty much every pastebin sucks. With Gist removing anonymous pastes, the search for a new pastebin began, and then it shortly ended. There's not much out there.

There should be a pastebin that's easy-to-use and simple, supporting multiple files, syntax highlighting, anonymity, and secure authentication.

• diesel migration run
• Edit config.toml
