### What we like

Send things into the pastebin via SSH and get a shareable web URL. No signup required - uses your SSH key. Viewer supports syntax highlighting and markdown parsing. SSH in for a full terminal UI to manage snippets. Each snippet can be set to private with an expiring URL. Can also be self hosted.

### Tradeoffs

Can’t search the snippets once they’re uploaded.
