       Show HN: A simple Pastebin Clone using Deno
        
       This is a simple Pastebin clone I made using the Deno Typescript
       runtime.  I created a simple templating system, and implemented
       server-side rendering for the UI.  Demo:

       | I feel like the biggest issues with pastebins are:
       | 
       | - Data is known by the provider - Not enough economic incentive
       | to keep the pastebin running for a long time (you still need
       | pocket money and some maintenance to keep it running)

       | 
       | Not sure if it's a cultural thing or just some features of Deno
       | that make Docker less necessary.

         | 
         | Why do you say that? I can't think of any reason a Deno project
         | wouldn't benefit from Docker more or less any other
         | application. There's an official Deno Docker image, so I
         | wouldn't say that not using Docker is a part of Deno culture.
         | 
         | But I could see the single executable being easier to use than
         | Docker if you're just trying to run a script on a home server!

           | 
           | Personally, I tend to run my Deno/Node services using simple
