Hi there! I'm excited to finally publish a little side-project which I have been working on for some weeks.
I make a living as a programming teacher in online courses. Thus, during my lessons I need to share multiple code snippets, while my students must send their coding solutions to me as well. Of course, it is not that practical to throw a code snippet into the meeting's chat box. It is much simpler and readable to work with a code pasting tool and share tiny URLs instead. I am aware there are plenty of these services out there (I think I have tried them all), but they are either not reliable, or lack basic features such as syntax highlighting, or the pasting process is slow because they have no reasonable defaults, or the UX is terrible, or they have annoying ads and limits. So, I decided to create my own service.
MyPaste aims to be simple and quick. Just copy your code snippet, paste it at mypaste.dev and you will get your URL. We will try to detect the programming language order to release you from browsing over 100 items every single time you need to share something. A one-week expiration policy will be set to your paste by default, although you might change it or make it permanent after pasting.
If you want to make it quicker and not even leave your Visual Studio Code session (as I do), you can install our open-source CLI and upload your code directly from the terminal. You will need an API token which can be generated by singing in with your GitHub account.
Here's a quick list of features:
âď¸ Free
âď¸ Fast with reasonable defaults
âď¸ Automatic programming language detection
âď¸ Custom expiration policy
âď¸ Sign in with GitHub
âď¸ Open-source CLI
âď¸ No ads
âď¸ By developers, for developers
Thanks for reading! :-)
