+# Brutally simple pastebin
+
+Decided to challenge myself to write a really simple pastebin in go, utilizing
+almost nothing but the standard library in less than an hour.
+
+This is the result of about an hour and a half of work.
+
+It will create a binary with embedded templates. Simply point it at the
+directory in which you'd like to store your pastes.
+
+Each paste is a file, a random id assigned at creation. There's no way to edit
+or change a paste. The only way to delete it is to remove it from the
+filesystem.
+
+There's no indexing function or search either.
+
+There's also absolutely no protection against people spamming the API until
+your disk is full, no authentication either.
