Hidetext.sh Launches Encrypted Pastebin That Keeps Server Blind to Encryption Keys

Hidetext.sh was introduced on Hacker News as a new pastebin service. It encrypts text on the client before sending it to the server. The encryption key remains on the user's device. Because the server never receives the key, it cannot decrypt the stored content. This design aims to protect privacy and prevent server‑side data breaches. Users can share encrypted snippets via a URL that includes the decryption key. The service is accessible through the hidetext.sh website. The approach mirrors zero‑knowledge principles used in other security‑focused tools.
