4 commentsAs a lifelong web developer, I always dreamt of creating a native app using familiar web technologies. When I couldn't find a decent clipboard manager that met my needs, I decided to build my own. PasteBar has the unique ability to create native menus with instant paste actions that I could not find in any other app or service. It's free, open source, and packed with features like:
- Unlimited clipboard history - Searchable copy history - Custom saved clips - Quick-access paste menus - Collections, tabs, and boards for organization - Local storage for privacy and security - Lock screen and passcode protection - Support for text, images, files, links, and code snippets - Instant pasting from system menu - Dark theme - Global search functionality - Customizable clips and menus

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Thank you!
Well, on one historical side you discovered the Libraries of Babel, by Conrad Gessner (circa 1545) on the other Emacs/EXWM as desktop, org-mode/org-roam managed notes with gazillion of packages around.
That's not a critic to PasteBar project, but an observation on who many independent people, typically not knowing "paste solutions" like Emacs, re-invent single aspects already invented decades ago because they are effective and useful and they still fall short in full scale integration because modern systems are not meant to be fully integrated environments. PasteBar is nice, it's just an example of how much we need text and how poor are modern environments, and how much effort is needed in them to do even the most simple thing like having a handful of ready-made snippets to be inserted somewhere comparing to just yasnippet or tempo in complexity and effort terms.
