What is Ghostbin?
Ghostbin is an online pastebin and code sharing service launched in 2020. It allows users to store plain text such as code snippets, logs, or configurations online for a custom duration.
Some key features of Ghostbin include:
- Store text snippets anonymously without requiring signup
- Set a custom expiration for snippets from 1 minute to forever
- Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages
- Customizable URL for sharing snippets
- Browser-based editing of snippets
- Chrome, Firefox, and CLI clients for easy pasting
- Server-side AES-256 encryption for stored snippets
- Free and open source software with affordable pro tiers
Ghostbin can be useful for programmers to share code snippets, for sysadmins to share logs or configs, or anyone looking to store text temporarily. The lack of signup and fully anonymous access make it popular among privacy-focused users. An active open source development makes Ghostbin a promising pastebin alternative.
