Code sharing at the speed of paste. Built for developers who value speed, security, and simplicity.
The Story
CtrlV was born out of a simple frustration: sharing code snippets shouldn't be complicated. Too many platforms either lack the features developers need, compromise on security, or burden users with unnecessary complexity.
I wanted something that felt as natural as Ctrl+V (paste) - hence the name. A platform where you can instantly share code with syntax highlighting, version control, encryption, and direct VS Code integration, all without the bloat.
What started as a weekend project evolved into a full-featured platform that handles everything from quick code shares to encrypted, version-controlled collaboration.

About the Creator
Chukwuka Ibejih
Backend developer specializing in Python, Django, and system architecture. Passionate about building tools that solve real problems for developers. I believe in writing code that's not just functional, but maintainable, scalable, and well-documented.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, or thinking about how to make developer workflows more efficient.
