Paste Pasta

Paste Pasta was a developed by Gregory McLeod and published by McLeodGaming. It allowed users to store text in "pastes", which were small text boxes that users could then copy to their clipboard or store on the website for later use. The website was initially released as a beta on May 17, 2013 and later released publicly on October 2, 2013.

On March 1, 2021, the Paste Pasta website was shut down, leaving the software inaccessible.

Function
Paste Pasta provided an interface for users to paste text into in order to easily copy it later. To do this, users would create a "paste" within a tab that could then be edited, allowing text to be typed or pasted into the editable area. Once saved, clicking on on the text would copy it to the user's clipboard. Users could also move or duplicate the paste, and while editing, it could be resized or deleted. Users could create multiple pastes in the same tab or create a new tab to store separate pastes, with each tab being accessible at the top of the screen and allowing users to rename or reorganize them. Dragging a paste onto a tab would move it to that tab.

Opening the Paste Management page would provide users with a more detailed view of their pastes and tabs. From this page, users could select a tab to view the pastes it contained and update their settings. Namely, users could edit the text contained in the pastes, change their exact coordinates and sizes, change which tab the paste was displayed on, or delete the paste altogether. Dragging pastes could change the order they are rendered from bottom to top. Users could also delete tabs or simply delete all pastes within a tab.

To use the full version of Paste Pasta, users would first create an account that could then be logged into. Users without an account would only have access to a demo version of the software, which lacked the Paste Management page and did not allow users to save pastes after exiting the website.
