Nice, now dream a text-centric desktop where almost all your digital life is in notes, you can attach files anywhere and link them, access all information with full-text search, search&narrow style, with various filter, composing and decomposing, copy-pasting abilities etc.

Well, on one historical side you discovered the Libraries of Babel, by Conrad Gessner (circa 1545) on the other Emacs/EXWM as desktop, org-mode/org-roam managed notes with gazillion of packages around.

That's not a critic to PasteBar project, but an observation on who many independent people, typically not knowing "paste solutions" like Emacs, re-invent single aspects already invented decades ago because they are effective and useful and they still fall short in full scale integration because modern systems are not meant to be fully integrated environments. PasteBar is nice, it's just an example of how much we need text and how poor are modern environments, and how much effort is needed in them to do even the most simple thing like having a handful of ready-made snippets to be inserted somewhere comparing to just yasnippet or tempo in complexity and effort terms.
