The history of Rubiš

3 AM on a school night
The First Prototype

The first working version of Rubiš was built at 3 AM on a school night, purely on impulse.
A friend was ranting about needing a paste service with a fully-featured API that was not locked behind ridiculous pricing (looking at you, Pastebin), so the response was simple:

"Why not just make our own?"

Initially, Rubiš was built for one person - a friend in need.

Demand Explodes & Rubiš becomes a real API

Word spread, and more people started asking for access.
Within a month, the original sloppy, 1-hour codebase was thrown out and rebuilt from scratch into a fully RESTful API.

- Swagger documentation was added
- API versioning was introduced (v2 became the latest)
- Industry-standard REST conventions were adopted

At this point, Rubiš was no longer just a "for fun" project - it was a fully functional paste service.

The Partnership with sUNC

sUNC, a tool which tests the environment of script executors for games, was also suffering under Pastebin's awful API. Their team saw Rubiš as the perfect replacement.
The Rubiš team went above and beyond to create a custom sUNC test result viewer that integrated seamlessly with their internal systems.

"After struggling with Pastebin's painfully slow API - which they somehow have the nerve to charge for - we turned to Rubiš. Even in its early development, the team was incredibly responsive, rapidly refining and perfecting the service to meet our needs. They went above and beyond, delivering a fully custom site for us that beautifully showcases sUNC test results while seamlessly integrating with the Rubiš API and our internal systems."

Fighting abuse with RubisGuard™

More users meant more demand, but it also meant more abuse.
Some inconsiderate users started spamming hundreds of thousands of junk scraps, causing 500K+ requests within a few minutes.

RubisGuard™ was introduced - a powerful, adaptive security system designed to:
- Automatically detect & block mass spam
- Rate-limit malicious traffic
- Introduce a 3MB scrap size limit to prevent abuse (yes, Rubiš used to be unlimited. 3MB is still VERY generous though!)

This marked Rubiš becoming fully production-ready.

The Major Overhaul

The Rubiš experience received a massive upgrade, turning it into a fully branded, polished service.

- A new website
- Revamped viewing experience
- Full-featured web app (Post, delete, and edit scraps easily)
- Introduction of the Epique Plans

Rubiš is no longer just a side project - it is a real service, designed to last.

The future... ✨
...?

Rubiš isn't stopping here.

We have plans for:
- custom file support,
- uploading non-text files,
- scrap analytics for Epique Plus users,
- even more features,
- and enterprise solutions
already in motion.

The Epique Plus plan will introduce scrap analytics, higher scrap size limits, increased request limits per second, and even more (including custom solutions) for power users.

The future... 🍉
Why does it even matter?

Rubiš is more than just another paste service.

It is built for modern developers, power users, and automation - without the frustrating limitations of legacy platforms.

Rubiš will not slow down. It will only get bigger and better - by listening to you for ideas & support.
