Pastebin

By | 2006/04/28

For those that do coding regularly and have any need to collaborate you should check out Pastebin.  It’s a sweet little code-collaboration app based on .php that allows you to paste snippets of code to share with others.

The cool thing about this pastebin (there are a few variations) is that this allows for syntax highlighting depending on the type of code.  Whether its php, ruby or bash (and MANY more) this’ll allow you to highlight correctly.

The only thing I found lacking in this pastebin is file attachment function.  I understand the developer not wanting to include that on his public app–his storage and bandwidth would go thru the roof–but it would be a nice option on a private pastebin.

I’m going to play around with it, try to add the attachment function, fail, and complain about it in my next post.  😉

    Thanks for the link. If you add the feature, let me know and I’ll consider adding it to the source as an option.

    I might add it to pastebin.com itself, but the site is very popular and like you say, I’m not sure the Google Ads would cover the bandwidth 🙁
