nstatxt vs Pastebin
Paste sites are great until the thing you need to share is not only text — a log plus the screenshot of the error, a config plus the export it produced. nstatxt handles both in one document, so you send one link instead of three.

Why people switch from Pastebin
One link instead of three
The stack trace, the screenshot and the config file belong together. Splitting them across a paste site and an image host makes whoever is helping you reassemble the context by hand.
It updates while they are reading
When someone is debugging with you, appending the next log to the same document beats pasting a new link into chat every few minutes. Their page updates in place.
Markdown, not a wall of text
Explain what you are showing. Headings, code blocks and lists render properly, so the person reading knows which part matters.
It disappears on schedule
Logs and configs pick up more than you intend. Auto-deletion means a debugging session does not leave a permanent public artefact.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share code snippets on nstatxt?
Yes. Documents are Markdown, so fenced code blocks render as formatted code.
Can I attach files to a paste?
Yes — that is the main difference from a paste site. Text and file attachments live in one document behind one link.
Can I edit it after sharing the link?
Yes. Keep your edit link and change the document any time. Anyone with the view link open sees the update immediately.
