Notes about Hastebin describe it as of September 2026; check its own site for current details.
What hastebin got right
Zero ceremony. No title field, no options, no account, a monospace box and a keyboard shortcut. That is why it was in every developer's bookmarks and in half the Discord and IRC help channels, and why its disappearance left a gap that generic paste sites do not fill.
The same habit on LogShare
Text Share is one box and one button. Paste, optionally pick a language and an expiry, click Share, and the link is on your clipboard. The defaults are sensible for the hastebin use case: a plain text paste that lives for 24 hours. Logs get the Log Share view instead, with line numbers, ERROR and WARN highlighting and a search box, because a 4,000-line log in a plain paste is where hastebin fell down.
Self-hosting versus a hosted service
If you liked hastebin because you could run haste-server on your own box, that option still exists through the forks and LogShare does not replace it. If you liked it because someone else ran it and it was always up, that is what LogShare is: a hosted service with automatic expiry, no accounts and no ads on shared content.
FAQ
Is hastebin gone for good?
As of September 2026 the original hastebin.com is archived and does not accept new pastes. The haste-server code is open source, so self-hosted copies and community forks continue to exist.
Does LogShare need an account like the newer paste sites?
No. Nothing on LogShare needs an account, and there is no paste history tied to you; keep the link if you need to find a paste again.
How long does a LogShare paste last?
You choose when you create it: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours or 7 days. When it expires the content is deleted and the link returns a 410 Gone page.
Is there a raw or plain-text view?
Every share page has a one-click copy of the full text, and log shares can be searched and wrapped in place. Raw text is also what you get back when you copy, with no line numbers mixed in.
