I've been using GitHub Gists and OpenGist for years, and something always felt a little off.

One thing: no Bulgarian anywhere in the interface. Another: GitHub Gists are tied to GitHub — you can't self-host them, there are no tags, no stats, no way to say "this snippet is for my server, on my domain, under my rules".
