# spasteg

A secure, self-hostable "burn after reading" paste service with ephemeral storage written in [Gleam](https://gleam.run).

## Features

- **Ephemeral pastes** — Content is deleted immediately after first view
- **No persistence** — All data stored in-memory only (restarts clear everything)
- **No accounts** — Zero-friction sharing without registration
- **Self-hosted** — Run your own instance with full control
- **Fast & lightweight** — Built on the BEAM VM for reliability and performance
- **Type-safe** — Written in Gleam, a type-safe functional language

## Quick Start

```bash
# Clone and build
git clone https://git.kharec.info/Kharec/spasteg.git
cd spasteg
gleam run
```

The server starts on `http://localhost:3000`.

## Usage

1. Visit `http://localhost:3000`
2. Enter your text in the form
3. Click "Create Paste"
4. Share the generated URL
5. The paste auto-destructs after first access

## Architecture

- **Web framework**: Wisp (Gleam's web framework)
- **HTTP server**: Mist (HTTP/1.1 & HTTP/2)
- **HTML rendering**: Lustre (type-safe, declarative HTML generation)
- **Storage**: In-memory OTP actor (no disk persistence)
- **Key generation**: Cryptographically random 16-character keys

## Security Notes

- Pastes are stored **unencrypted** in server memory
- Data is **never written to disk**
- All data is lost on server restart
- Intended for ephemeral sharing only — do not store sensitive data
