Hunchbin version 1.0.6 released
===============================
Hunchbin is a self hosted snippet service, and file dropper, aimed
at textmode browsers. It also features temporarily bookmarks. It
doesn't use JavaScript.
Add snippets, files, or bookmarks to Hunchbin, to be saved
temporarily.
Hunchbin assigns an individual expire date to every item, calculated
using a default expire period.
When the expire date is reached, the item will be deleted.
The expire date of any item can be changed, either by postponing it
with a number of days, or by adding a number of days to the current
date.
Snippets
--------
Snippets are added in a text area field in a web form and displayed
as pre-formatted text, most browsers use a fixed font for this.
Snippets can be modified, the user can change title as well as the
text of the snippet.
Files
-----
Files can be uploaded through a HTML form, either a single file or
multiple files. Each file becomes an separate Hunchbin item.
The option to upload and download files can be useful to exchange
data between different devices and operating systems. For example.
it provides an easy way to transfer files from and to tablets.
Bookmarks
---------
Hunchbin features the option to store temporarily bookmarks. Add a
bookmark using the bookmark HTML form. Just like any other item,
bookmarks get an expire date.
Temporarily bookmarks can be useful when doing some research, for
example at the start of a project. Quickly collect a number of
possible interesting web pages, and later determine which are
valuable.
Common Lisp
-----------
Hunchbin is coded in Common Lisp and available under the GPL3
license.
It is build upon the wonderful Common Lisp Hunchentoot web server.
