An Interesting Twist on a Pastebin

Pastebins have become an important part of sharing code with
colleagues. Sites such as Pastebin <http://pastebin.com/> & Pastie.org
<http://pastie.org/> are extremely popular because they’re easy to use
and very effective in letting people compare notes on source code,
especially in a support setting.
Remy Sharp <http://remysharp.com> wanted to take the pastebin concept
a step further
<http://remysharp.com/2008/10/06/js-bin-for-collaborative-javascript-debugging/>,
past the static posting of code. His idea, which he tossed around for
6 months, finally came to fruition in the form of JS Bin, a new
pastebin site with a twist:
JS Bin is a form of paste bin, but with a twist. It allows you to
also include the HTML and CSS to provide context to your pasty. As
such, it means you can actually run the JavaScript and pass this
on to a colleague to help to debug.
This is a great idea as it lets you troubleshoot your code while
seeing immediate results. The feature list is well thought out as well.
* Save private snippet
* Remote Ajax debugging
* Snippet URLs run entirely on their own (i.e. without the JS Bin
framework around them)
* Support to quickly inject major JS libraries including jQuery,
jQuery UI, Prototype, Scriptaculous, Dojo, MooTools & YUI
* Saves state within the open window (i.e. refresh and the code
doesn’t reset)
The ability to inject many of the popular JavaScript libraries is
especially important and I would highly recommend individual project
teams to contact Remy /*directly*/ to have their libs included.
To give this a run, I’d suggest going to the JS Bin site
<http://jsbin.com/> and putting it through its paces. In addition,
Remy has produced two videos which go into detail on how to leverage
JS Bin:
