Hasty Paste
Paste some text, hit save, share the link - Hasty Paste is a fast, minimal pastebin written in
Python on the async Quart framework, named, by its author's own admission, "because you use it
so fast without a care in the world." No accounts, no authentication, no friction - built for
the everyday case of handing a debug log, config snippet, or stack trace to someone in tech
support or a chat channel. Pastes get randomly generated IDs, with an optional "long" ID mode
that makes brute-force URL guessing impractical, and expiry times ensure throwaway content
actually gets thrown away. Optional Pygments syntax highlighting makes code readable, a dark
theme spares your eyes, and the whole interface works without JavaScript - it renders in
terminal browsers and under the strictest script blockers. Storage is a custom flat-file
system (no database), caching runs internally or through Redis for busier instances, and a
REST API plus the companion "Hastily Paste It" CLI script enable piping command output
straight into a paste from the terminal. The Alpine-based Docker image is tiny, resource usage
is minimal, and the license is AGPL.
