bin.

a pastebin.

There's no good open source pastebin solutions. I'm sorry to everyone who has one on GitHub but I have to say it. We try to cram as many little features as humanly possible into them and still try and call them minimalist. I don't want to run Redis, I don't want commenting functionality, I don't want self-destructing or time bomb messages and I especially don't want social media integration—I don't know about you but normally I just need to send a quick little snippit of code to someone, it doesn't need a title and I don't really mind when it disappears as long as its around long enough for them to see. Honestly, I'm guilty of it myself, we've all made a pastebin at one point or another but when it comes to making one to release to the public we create abominations.

bin. is written in Rust in around 100 lines of code. It's fast, it's simple, there's code highlighting and you can ⌘+A without going to the 'plain' page. Revolutionary in the pastebin industry, disrupting markets and pushing boundaries never seen before.

curl support?
$ curl -X PUT --data 'hello world' bin.doyle.la
https://bin.doyle.la/cateettary
$ curl https://bin.doyle.la/cateettary
hello world
how do you run bin?
$ ./bin
good one, what settings are there?

bin. uses rocket so you can add a rocket config file if you like. You can set ROCKET_PORT in your environment if you want to change the default port (8820).

bin's only configuration value is BIN_BUFFER_SIZE which defaults to 2000. Change this value if you want your bin to hold more pastes.

how does syntax highlighting work?

To get syntax highlighting you need to add the file extension at the end of your paste URL.
