<h1 align="center">paste</h1>
paste is a simple, "code friendly" web frontend for [bytebin](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin). **paste is a simple web app for writing & sharing code.** It's my own take on conventional pastebin sites like *pastebin.com* or *hastebin*.
It is written in React using [react-simple-code-editor](https://github.com/satya164/react-simple-code-editor) and [Prism](https://github.com/PrismJS/prism). The frontend *(this repository)* is written using the React framework. The backend data storage is handled by a separate web service called [bytebin](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin).
### Usage The user-interface is quite simple; it supports syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, many supported languages, themes, zooming in/out, linking to specific lines or sections, and more!
I host a public instance of paste at [paste.lucko.me](https://paste.lucko.me).
Please feel free to use it to share code/configs/whatever! However note the (very-non-legally worded) [terms of service](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin#public-instances) for bytebin apply. <p align="center">

### Host your own ### Host your own
If you want to host your own paste: If you want to host your own paste, first you need to compile it:
```bash ```bash
git clone https://github.com/lucko/paste git clone https://github.com/lucko/paste
yarn install yarn install
yarn build
yarn start # to start a dev instance locally # or run the following instead of 'yarn build' to start a webserver for testing/development
yarn build # to build for production yarn start
``` ```
### API You can then follow the [create-react-app deployment documentation](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment/) for how to host the build output. I personally recommend deploying to the cloud using a service like Netlify instead of hosting on your own webserver.
