Ask HN: Any GitHub Gist Alternative?

Probably with more theme options.

canSnippet is an alternative I developed some time ago. You can use: - the Desktop version (macOS only, no cloud) http://cansnippet.com/ - the community edition (open source webapp) http://cansnippet.org/

You can see a running instance (in French) here https://cansnippet.bioinfo-fr.net/

Let me know if you have any question :)

Thanks for the reply. I actually wanted something already hosted so that I could host my code on their service and share it on my blog.

Have you tried GitLab snippets?

Thanks, I gave it a try. It's different from Gist, however, this too doesn't have theme options. I actually wanted to customize the look of the code snippet to match my blog's theme (something in dark). https://blog.rampatra.com/how-to-add-search-in-jekyll
