The style-preference feature is now live. See the choices in the style gallery: https://dpaste.com/styles

(Feel free to bookmark that as a general purpose Pygments style reference; good ones are not easy to find.)

Soon, registered users will be able to change the color theme for all pastes they look at.

Feature update: There's now a single interface for changing syntax, expiry, or title of existing items. Get to it via the new "Edit Properties" button.

New feature: Markdown and reStructuredText items (posted by registered users) have a "Preview" button to show them in rendered HTML form. E.g. https://dpaste.com/2SMEV9JDB.html

Today the site hit 500 registered users! To celebrate, here's a soft-launched present for all registered users: any Markdown or reStructuredText items you post can be rendered as HTML by adding ".html" to the URL.

OK, Rust is next!

Cool, thanks for voting. Python has been added and more are on the way.

A few more options for you to weigh in on.

I'm adding examples to the API help page. So far we have curl and JavaScript. What should I add next?

Added a JS example to the API help. Uses 'fetch' because that seems to be the right way to do it these days. https://dpaste.com/api/

Update to the dpaste.sh helper script - it now uses $DPASTE_API_TOKEN if set. https://hg.sr.ht/~paulbissex/dpaste-tools/browse/dpaste.sh?rev=tip

Another milestone -- while most users are still anonymous, the site now has 400 registered users. It's been fun building features for account holders, like API auth and favorites.

Registered users can now use token auth with the API to "own" created items. Anonymous use is still the default. TLDR: On your dashboard, click the "Generate" button; use the token in an Authorization header on your requests, e.g. `Authorization: Bearer a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8`

Example use case: You're in your team Slack or an IRC channel helping somebody fix a bug. They post a dpaste item with the problem code. You view the item, duplicate it and make the changes it needs, then post the diff link.

The diff feature is now live. Click the "diff" button above an item to use it. You can choose any item from your history to diff it against. Example: https://dpaste.com/8WPCDRFHL/diff/ABCD23456

New feature on the way: view the diff (colorized, naturally) between two items.

Cool online GPX track editor that uses dpaste.com for its sharing feature. Check it out! https://opoto.github.io/wtracks/

With appreciation I note that a certain anonymous user in Frankfurt, Germany, who has posted about 7000 new items to the pastebin in the last day... has assiduously respected the one-per-second rate limit.
