    While this looks like a cool little app, what really caught my eye, is that list of numbers on the top of the screen. Could you tell me, what that is?

    @Schnacki: thank you for the comment. :)

    I was taking the screenshot while using rxvt-unicode. It is similar in that sentence to konsole that it can have separate tabs. Think of it like "ctrl-shift-t" (new tab) in console. Hmm, having switched to konsole at the company, this reminds me that I could perhaps give it a try here at home as well.

    Hope, this answers your questions.

    Seems like a bad copy of http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/

    @Unknown: Yes, in principle it is very similar. It is only using a different service behind. I have been using curlpaste and wgetpaste for years. That was the inspiration for me when Sayak revealed the new API for paste.kde.org a few days ago. I have also been using paste.kde.org for a while, but without a dedicated tool, so just pasting the content into the browser.

    As a KDE enthusiast, I wished to have a util that advocates the KDE technology. I even considered having the application name "kdepaste", but the Levenshtein distance is only 2 characters to curlpaste in this case to which I got used to. So, it is easier a change, heh! :)

    Daniel, you are right; the log in is for admin purposes.

    By the way, I would like to point that out, just in case: I am not in charge of the web application you can see on the second screenshot. That is written by Sayak. I only used that for testing purposes whether my command line client had uploaded the proper content I wished.

    I plan to add command line option support when Qt 5.2 will get released. We wrote a command line parser into this new minor version, so it will be handier to support expiration date, privacy, and other parameters that the sticky-note API supports.

    For the time being, the web application can be used for life span as you wrote.

    Thank you for the interest. :)

    @Daniel

    You can log in using your identity.kde.org credentials. I'll add a banner to the login page to indicate that.
