 # Palette
 
-Fast, self-hosted pastebin with paste cans, password lock, expiry, custom URLs, and an API-first design.
+Palette is a fast, self-hosted pastebin. One Go binary, a SQLite database, and
+a web UI for sharing code and text with links that expire on your terms.
 
-## Quick start
+## Features
+
+- Paste cans — bundle notes, text, and files into one shareable page
+- Password lock — protect individual pastes with a password
+- Custom expiry — from 1 minute up to 1 year, or never
+- Burn after N reads — a paste that vanishes after a chosen number of reads
+- Custom URLs — reserve `/my-snippet` instead of a random slug
+- Syntax highlighting with language auto-detection (go-enry)
+- Rate limiting on create and unlock
+- Saved page — see and manage everything created from your browser
+- API-first — every UI action is also a plain HTTP call
+- Single binary — templates and assets are embedded; no external deps
+
+## Get Started
+
+### Build from source
+
+Requires Go 1.21+.
 
 ```bash
 go build -o palette .
 ./palette
-# UI at http://localhost:8080
+# open http://localhost:8080
 ```
 
-## Docker
+### Docker
 
 ```bash
-docker build -t palette .
+docker run -p 8080:8080 -v palette-data:/data git.archfox.org/poslop/palette
-docker run -p 8080:8080 -v palette-data:/data palette
 ```
 
+The SQLite database lives in the `/data` volume inside the container.
+

+
 ## Configuration
 
-| Env var | Default | Description |
+| Setting | Default | Description |
 |---|---|---|
 | `PALETTE_ADDR` | `:8080` | Listen address |
 | `PALETTE_DB` | `palette.db` | SQLite database path |
 | `PALETTE_MAX_TEXT` | `5242880` | Max paste size in bytes (5 MB) |
 | `PALETTE_MAX_ITEM` | `26214400` | Max can item size in bytes (25 MB) |
+| `PALETTE_ADMIN_KEY` | generated | Admin key; if unset a 32-char hex key is generated and persisted to `<db-dir>/admin-key` (0600) |
+
+### Admin
+
+`GET /admin` serves the admin page. Enter the admin key there — it is stored in
+`sessionStorage` (never a cookie) and sent as the `X-Admin-Key` header on
+`GET`/`POST /admin/api/settings`.
+
+The admin API reads/sets: rate-limit burst, rate-limit refill per minute, max
+content bytes, default expiry, custom URL reservation days, and the burn
+viewer window (minutes). All admin access attempts are logged.
+
+```bash
+./palette --reset-admin-key   # regenerate the admin key and print it
+```
 
 ## API
 
-### Create paste
+Create a paste with one call:
+
 ```bash
 curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pastes \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
+  -d '{"content": "print(hello)", "language": "python", "expires_in": "168h"}'
-    "content": "print(hello)",
-    "title": "my snippet",
-    "language": "python",
-    "expires_in": "168h",
-    "password": "optional",
-    "custom_slug": "optional",
-    "burn_after_read": false,
-    "visibility": "public"
-  }'
 ```
 
-Response includes `id`, `url`, `raw_url`, `api_url`, and a one-time `deletion_token`.
+Full API docs: [docs/API.md](docs/API.md).
-
-### Get paste
-```bash
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}
-# password-protected pastes:
-curl "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}?password=secret"
-# or via header: X-Paste-Password: secret
-```
-
-### Raw content
-```bash
-curl http://localhost:8080/raw/{id}
-```
-
-### Soft delete
-```bash
-curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}
-```
-
-### Hard delete (requires deletion token)
-```bash
-curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}/redeem?token=TOKEN"
-```
-
-### Public history
-```bash
-curl "http://localhost:8080/api/public?limit=25&offset=0"
-```
-
-### Create can (bundle of items)
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/can \
-  -F "title=My bundle" \
-  -F "expires_in=48h" \
-  -F 'json_items=[{"title":"notes.txt","content":"some notes"}]' \
-  -F "files=@screenshot.png" \
-  -F "files=@log.txt"
-```
-
-### Get can + items
-```bash
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id}
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id}/items/{item_id}
-```
-
-## Expiry and deletion
-
-- Expired pastes are soft-deleted by a background sweeper (runs every minute).
-- Soft-deleted pastes are hard-deleted after a 7-day grace period.
-- Deletion tokens allow immediate hard delete.
-- Burn-after-read pastes are soft-deleted on first read.
-
-## Web pages
-
-- `/new` — create a paste
-- `/history` — public paste history
-- `/{id}` — view a paste
-- `/unlock/{id}` — password gate for protected pastes
-- `/raw/{id}` — raw content with original content type

+- `expires_in` is a Go duration string (`90m`, `6h`, `336h`). Omit for no expiry.
+- `visibility` is `public` or `unlisted`.
+- `burn_after_reads` sets how many reads the paste survives (default 1 when
+  `burn_after_read` is true). A read is counted per unique viewer session;
+  the same viewer returning within 15 minutes does not count again.
+- Response includes `id`, `url`, `raw_url`, `api_url`, `expires_at`,
