What is Drift?
Drift is a self-hostable clone of 
GitHub Gist .
It is a simple way to share code and text snippets with your friends, with support for the following:
- Render GitHub Extended Markdown (including images)
- User authentication
- Private, public, and secret posts
Drift was inspired by this tweet:
“What is the absolute closest thing to GitHub Gist that can be self-hosted? In terms of design and functionality. Hosts images and markdown, rendered. Creates links that can be private or public. Uses/requires registration. I have looked at dozens of pastebin-like things.”
