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 with no database, and no back-end code. Instead, the data is compressed and stored entirely in the link that you share, nowhere else!
This is free and open source software. It can be self-hosted.
