Hey, I built IndiePaste ([https://www.indiepaste.online](https://www.indiepaste.online)) because traditional pastebins felt bloated, slow, and cluttered with ads for simple developer workflows.

It is built with Next.js and Upstash Redis for instant, ephemeral text/config sharing with native burn-after-read controls and automated expiration. I also integrated Groq AI for fast, one-click code analysis, summaries, and debugging assistance.

I would love to hear your feedback on performance, privacy features, and what you’d like to see added next!
