#2Awesome, just wish I could install the server locally, would rather link someone at work to an internal URL. Some of the output at work would be too sensitive to trust to any third party.
This is the first I see software like this, has anybody seen other similarly useful utilities? I think it's invaluable to be able to share your console output with coworkers in real time so they can also help to troubleshoot.

#3This idea is pretty neat. You can bulk upload some log file or conditionally pipe output to a service like that and send the URI via SMS. I'd think that most of services like those would like to use federated logins and be on premise only.

You can use tmux's shared sessions via ssh for that, no?

#5Great idea. For my usecase it appears to be missing support for unicode (emoji) though...

#6Neat! Congratulations on launching, it looks amazing.
I built a similar tool a while ago, but to share your entire (read-only) shell session interactively: https://shellshare.net/. Might be useful for some looking at this.

I've never tried any of the following, but have come across them:
* https://github.com/vitorbaptista/shellshare
* https://github.com/yudai/gotty - actually gives you a tty in a browser
* https://github.com/dtinth/ttycast

#8I think this is a great idea, like others said it's the first time I've seen it. The problem is that almost any use case where this is useful for, is almost surely data that people wouldn't want publicized. A self-hosted version of this is ideal (for businsesses). At the very least, allow for API tokens and require a login to see your output (for personal projects uses) instead of just relying on a short random string for security of output. (Understood that it wasn't meant to be secure)

#9Piping output from shell into HTTP response bodies is exactly what CGI programming is about. What am I missing that this is considered innovative?

This uses the cloud...
In all seriousness, isn't the use case here more temporary? You're running a script that you want some else to see the output of without the faff of copy & paste to a gist.
