I like the unintrusive UI, but what I would really like is markdown support. I am not sure if that fits _your_ initial idea, but I'm a tech person, so, for me that's a must. Also, add https, because google will punish you. Otherwise, well done.

I created https://markdownshare.com/ to allow anybody to create/share/render markdown. Unfortunately these kind of sites are an abuse magnet, so it is in the process of being retired. I think any sustainable site/service like this has to be self-hosted, or come with a subscription. Because otherwise dealing with all the bots, spam-submissions, and other abuse is just too depressing.

Have you seen clientside-encrypted pastebins like 0bin[0]? The idea is to absolve the host of legal responsibility, since they can't even access the data without the decryption key in the URL.

Can you expand on the types of abuse you saw? Was it all just spam, or was some of it legitimately 'dodgy' ?
