+# Paste
+
+Paste is a client-side paste service which works **without any database** or back-end code
+
+Instead, the data is **compressed** then **stored** into a unique URL that can be decoded later. For example, [this is the HTML code of the service][example]
+
+> **Note:** This project is a clone of [Topaz's paste service][topaz-example], with a reworked design and additional features such as syntax highlighting, line numbers, and more
+
+## How it works
+
+When you click on "Generate Link", the whole text is compressed using the [LZMA algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel%E2%80%93Ziv%E2%80%93Markov_chain_algorithm), encoded in [Base64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64), and put in the optional fragment at the end of the URL: `bokub.github.io/paste/#<data is here>`
+
+When you open a link which contains data, the fragment is decoded, decompressed, and displayed in the editor
