Welcome to Pastry!

Version 1.1

Pastry.diy is a pastebin site, coded from scratch in Rust and based in HTML/CSS, aiming to teach the world web development in the most fun and engaging way out there!

Coding is a hard and long process, even more so in this day and age, however we are here to make the journey a little less terrifying! With full transparency on it's development, on-going new features being added, open source and completely free to use, we plan to show you all what we have to offer through this site!

How to Pastry?

As mentioned previously, Pastry uses HTML/CSS to decorate "pastes" (which you're looking at right now; this is a paste!), as a basic webpage would, with a little extra help to make coding more accessible! We do not support markdown or metadata. This is by design.

When you edit a paste, you will see two boxes and a live editing side preview of your paste. The first is for HTML (Hyper Text Markdown Language) and the second for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The HTML defines what the page should render, and the CSS gives a style to those definitions. This is how all webpages as you see today, Youtube, Twitter, Tumblr etc are made- through HTML/CSS.

You cannot hide the code of a paste on Pastry. This is due to the fact that code in of itself should be shared. If the people before us didn't share their code, we wouldn't have sites like we do today. You are free to leave disclaimers in your code to not use it - and contact moderators in case someone steals your code, but please know that letting people see how you made something is truly helpful in the longrun for beginner coders.
