## Editorial review

Minimalist pastebin where the data is AES-encrypted client-side before upload. The server stores ciphertext only; the key lives in the URL fragment so it never hits the server. Self-host or use public instances; supports expiry, burn-after-reading, password protect, syntax highlight. Battle-tested over years.
