Drift is a self-hostable clone of GitHub Gist for saving and sharing code and text snippets. It is built with Next.js 13, React Server Components, shadcn/ui, and Prisma, and supports markdown rendering, authentication, and private/password-protected posts.

Use cases

• self-host a pastebin service
• share code snippets with a private gist alternative
• host markdown notes with syntax highlighting
• share password-protected text posts
• run a lightweight snippet-sharing site on my own server

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted GitHub Gist alternative you fully control
• you need private, public, or password-protected snippet sharing
• you want markdown rendering and syntax highlighting out of the box
• you prefer deploying with Docker or Node.js on your own infrastructure

When to avoid

• you need a fully stable, battle-tested service rather than a beta project
• you want a static, serverless pastebin without a database
• you need enterprise features like SSO, audit logs, or team management
• you require non-credential OAuth providers beyond GitHub
