## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, auth, file-upload, markdown, self-hosted
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: pastebin, gist-clone, nextjs, code-snippets, syntax-highlighting, nodejs, docker, web-server
