MicroBin is a self-contained, self-hosted web application written in Rust for sharing text and files and shortening URLs. It provides a pastebin-style place to store content and create links that can be shared with others, addressing the need for a small service you control rather than relying on an external sharing site. The project describes itself as configurable and easy to set up, and says it needs only a few megabytes of memory and disk storage.
