143 languages in one field
CodeMirror 6 loads syntax on demand, from JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust to Haskell, Vue, nginx, and assembly. Line numbers, search, folding, brackets, tab width, and detection are built in.
Features
Everything a link needs. Nothing around it.
Pastly stays a focused text tool: no attachments, comments, or notification feed.
Preview without executing HTML
GitHub Flavored Markdown supports tables, lists, quotes, and code blocks. Raw HTML is not processed and user scripts do not run.
Raw, downloads, and line links
Open snippets have safe text/plain output. Downloads use the selected language extension, and line links point discussions to an exact place.
Expiry, password, and one read
Remove content after ten minutes, one hour, one day, one week, or one month. Passwords and burn-after-reading are explicit before publishing.
E2E in the browser
AES-256-GCM protects the title, language, format, and text. The server stores ciphertext while the key stays after #, outside HTTP requests.
Transform without toolbar clutter
One menu formats or minifies JSON, sorts and deduplicates lines, changes tab width, and downloads a draft. “Use as new” continues from an opened example.
curl without a dedicated CLI
text/plain accepts settings in query parameters and X-Pastly-* headers. JSON exposes every mode, HEAD checks without reading, and /languages lists syntax modes.
Cabinet and guest snippet claiming
Guests receive a separate management key. After signing in, claim an earlier snippet, then edit or delete it from the cabinet.
