NoPaste is an open-source website similar to Pastebin where you can store any piece of code, and generate links for easy sharing

However, what makes NoPaste special is that it works withno database, andno back-end code. Instead, the data is compressed andstored entirely in the link that you share, nowhere else!

• 🗑️ Your datacannot be deleted from NoPaste
• 🔞 Your datacannot be censored
• 👁️ The server hosting NoPaste (or any clone of it)cannot read or access your data
• ⏳ Your data will be accessibleforever (as long as you have the link)
• 🔀 You can access your data onevery NoPaste clone, includingyour own
• 🔍 Googlewill not index your data, even if your link is public

Note: This project is a copy ofTopaz's paste service, with a reworked design and a few additional features (syntax highlighting, line numbers, offline usage, embedding...)

When you click on "Generate Link", NoPaste compresses the whole text using theLZMA algorithm, encodes it inBase64, and puts it in the optional URL fragment, after the first# symbol:nopaste.boris.sh/#<your data goes here>

When you open a link, NoPaste reads, decodes, and decompresses whatever is after the#, and displays the result in the editor.

This process is done entirelyin your browser, and the web server hosting NoPastenever has access to the fragment

For example,this is the CSS code used by NoPaste

You can include NoPaste code snippets into your own website by clicking theEmbed button and using the generated HTML code.

Here is an example of generated code and how it looks (click on the screenshot to see the interactive version)

Feel free to edit theheight andwidth attributes, so they suit your needs

When you visit NoPaste for the first time, its code is saved in your browser cache. After that, every NoPaste link you openwill load really quick, even if your internet connection is slow.

What if you have no internet connexion at all? No problem, NoPaste will still work perfectly!

• Syntax highlighting (use the language selector)
• Enable / disable line wrapping (use the button next to the language selector)
• Delete line (Ctrl+D)
• Multiple cursors (Ctrl+Click)
• Usual keyboard shortuts (Ctrl+A,Ctrl+Z,Ctrl+Y...)

NoPaste is great for sharing code snippets on various platforms.

These are the maximum link lengths on some apps and browsers.

NoPaste links can be created easily from your system's command line:

# Linuxecho -n'Hello World'| lzma| base64 -w0| xargs -0printf"https://nopaste.boris.sh/#%s\n"# Macecho -n'Hello World'| lzma| base64| xargs -0printf"https://nopaste.boris.sh/#%s\n"# Windows / WSL / Linuxecho -n'Hello World'| xz --format=lzma| base64 -w0|printf"https://nopaste.boris.sh/#%s\n""$(cat -)"

NoPaste is just a bunch of static files, making it really easy to deploy on any kind of file server.
