MunchFile vs Pastebin

Pastebin is useful for one-off text pastes. MunchFile is for Markdown and HTML files that keep changing after the first share.

Use Pastebin for disposable plain text. Use MunchFile when the shared thing is a document or page you want to keep updating.
Pastebin is best for

Quick text dumps, logs, and disposable snippets.

MunchFile is best for

Markdown notes, HTML previews, AI artifacts, and share links that should stay current.
