Online pasting services have been around since forever. Their functionality is simple: Anyone can paste any piece of text, highlight it in a variety of fonts and/or apply programming language syntax markup. and obtain a URL to their paste which can then be shared with the world.
Pastebin is perhaps the industry leader in this section, but the internet is bustling with alternatives that range from dusty collage projects to snappy and unique ones that deserve to be used.
One such tool that has been garnering more and more attention is Ghostbin, and for good reason.
The anchoring feature of Ghostbin, developed by Dustin L Howett, is it's private, encrypted pastes (you can input the password for encryption) that can be set to self-destruct after a limited period of time. So think Snapchat, except with text files. It also offers just about every markup you could have wished for. As a bonus, you can make your paste editable and share that link alongside the regular read-only link.
While this is certainly great, Ghostbin isn't the only service that provides these services. What really sets it apart is the neat, clean interface which is a departure from the cluttered multi-sectional display of popular pasting repositories, including Pastebin. All available options are arranged on the top right and done up so well that even a technology hating grandma would have no issues finding her way around the site.
Definitely worth checking out!
