A minimalist paste bin written in Rust with no database requirement, syntax highlighting, and simple curl support.
bin is a minimalist paste bin application written in Rust that allows users to quickly share text snippets without the overhead of databases or complex features. It solves the problem of overly complicated paste bins by focusing on speed, simplicity, and ease of use, with built-in syntax highlighting and curl support.
Developers and technical users who need a fast, no-frills way to share code snippets or text, especially those who prefer command-line tools and self-hosted solutions.
Developers choose bin for its extreme simplicity, performance due to being written in Rust, and lack of unnecessary features, making it ideal for quick, hassle-free text sharing without dependencies or setup complexity.
:wastebasket: a paste bin.

Written in Rust, bin compiles to efficient native code, ensuring minimal latency for paste operations as emphasized in the README.
Requires no database or external services; simply run the executable, making deployment straightforward per the installation guide.
Supports curl for easy paste creation and retrieval, catering to developers who prefer terminal workflows.
Pastes are stored in memory and rotated out when the buffer is full, meaning data is not persistent and can be lost on server restarts.
Lacks advanced features like user accounts, time-based expiration, or editing, which are common in other paste bins.
Fixed buffer size (default 1000 pastes) and in-memory storage make it unsuitable for high-traffic or scalable applications.
