I can only speak for myself but I find the font hard to read. The background color is very distracting (and frankly ugly). When using code highlighting the foreground colors clash horribly imho.

The icons are small and on a large monitor hard to see. This is made worse by similarity between the icon color and background.

When I see this all I can think about is John Nunemaker's statment: "But we are hackers and hackers have black terminals with green font colors!"

On the bright side I like the name, and the command line tool is neat.

I quite enjoy it's simplicity.

No account needed, public/private, pastes are git repos, and history.

Right now it does not have realtime highlighting, but I think it is obvious to the first-time user what to do. Personally, I like the simple and easy-to-use interface as well as the information and control it gives you at the same time.

Here is an example paste:

EDIT: Oh, and like some other commenters I liked how the URLs are made of consonant-vowel pairs, so as to make them pronounceable. Very cool touch!

EDIT2: I promise to not edit this further, but I'd also like to congratulate them on the sane colorscheme. Very easy on the eyes, espec. compared to something like pastebin.com

If I link you to http://hastebin.com/daqasujoko.rb you're thinking either "that's a ruby file" or "that's a URL".

If I link you to http://hastebin.com/foodcatsphone.rb you're thinking "what does this have to do with food, cats or phones?"

A "random" example might be "acatimpliedoncolourlessphones.rb"

If I install the gem I only have to remember a five-character verb, and it's a fun verb.

"Pocoo" isn't even a word in my language, I have to remember a subdomain, and "pocoo.com" forwards to a random Chinese (?) e-commerce site that appears to sell tchotchkes.

The name “Pocoo” bears no meaning and multiple tries to find a suitable Backronym failed. It originally was chosen because it sounded “cute” and is now also the name of our logo owl. Pocoo is pronounced /ˈpokʉː/

First I tried ls, then I tried to type in some lisp code.

It did not work! ;-) /s

This is pretty easy to use. But I don't think the issue with pastebin clones is ease of use.

  curl -d "$(cat test.rb)" http://hastebin.com/documents

  {"key":"kixuxorico"}

If you wanted to be slightly more complex, you could define a quick bash function such as:

  haste() { 
    curl -sd "$(cat $1)" http://hastebin.com/documents | 
    sed -e 's/{"key":"/http:\/\/hastebin.com\//' -e "s/\"}/\.$(echo $1 | 
      sed -e 's/.*\.//')\n/"; 
  }

  haste() { curl -sd "$(cat $1)" http://hastebin.com/documents | sed -e 's/{"key":"/http:\/\/hastebin.com\//' -e "s/\"}/\.$(echo $1 | sed -e 's/.*\.//')\n/"; }

  haste test.rb

(1) The control panel hides really long lines.

(2) Really long lines! A bigger gutter would be good on the right hand side. In fact, that would free up the entire right hand side for the controls and whatever else.

(3) The colour scheme got in the way for me, especially with syntax highlighting. Increasing font size drastically improved it for me so I have to ask, have you considered a bigger default font.

(4) Would be cool if you showed a list of recently edited documents (via cookies or whatever). That way I wouldn't accidentally lose stuff.

My main gripe is the hotkeys. In the latest stable Chrome, some hotkeys (control+n, control+t) don't work, as they perform the native chrome operations (open new window, open new tab).

Hastebin should change their shortcut keys to something that isn't already in use by the platform.

Overriding the established meanings of Ctrl+N and Ctrl+S is rude to users who rely on them.

This is no different than a Mac application (for example) implementing special behavior in cmd+tab or cmd+~. You'd be confused.

It comes up all the time as the reason web apps will never be able to compete with native apps. Pressing Ctrl-W in your text editor and having the window immediately close is one of the worst possible user experiences.

Hastebin is cool, but wish it could be keyboard only on chrome and ctrl-n/ctrl-t are the perfect shortcuts.

what makes this even more annoying is that chrome makes it easy to create an application shortcut, so you can have a window that is just an online editor: so awesome! but it can't work with your keybindings! how do they say: oh snap!

so close, yet so far away.

edit: Also it says text you paste is not crawled by spiders but you shouldn't expect privacy.

* http://pen.io - for example PAGENAME.pen.io -- no account required, and you can edit if you have the password to the page, however you can't format the text)

* http://hackpad.com - account registration is quick and you can format your text

I see in the comments I can just change the suffix to get different highlighting, but just thought I'd mention this.

Seems to be developed in node.js and supports Redis, Memcahced or File based storage and uses phonetic key generation.

Impressive to see how little code there actually is in the actual application too.

Gonna use this instead of pastie from now on.
