Renaming "hoagiebin" to "peanut butter" - and some code changes

Update 2025-11-12: despite saying I wouldn't do it below, I did update all the links in the blog to the new URL. 🙃

I don't think anyone but me used Hoagiebin. And that is ok, since I wanted a self-hosted Pastebin for my own use, and I shared the URL with the world [1] out of joy that it worked more than anything else. 😁
I also mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to move some code around in the Colibrí repository to separate the pastebin portions from the purely web stuff (Hunchentoot and easy-routes related code, mostly).
The other thing that bothered me was that the URL might be too long[2].

And also yesterday, when thinking of the naming for the next tool, I realized that I can't have all of them use the "Hoagie-something" moniker. That would be terrible.

Arriving to a new name and URL

Because it is a pastebin, I started thinking of something that shortened to "pb". And this morning I landed on "Peanut Butter". It makes for an easy to remember name (I think?), and gives the same initials as "pastebin". Can't ask for more.

I guess I should update the previous posts to refer to the new name, but meh. These posts are close enough together.

Footnotes
  1. By "world" I mean "the world of readers of this blog", which I assume is a subset of the world :D
  2. There's no shortening the base domain, though.
