i was just trying to reverse engineer gist to post data to and i found this. they really need an API or something.... will check this out

Yup, its a little old, but there are some command line clients out there if I recall. Check out https://rubygems.org/gems/gist

im going to create a windows thing that you press a hot key and it snags your clipboard highlight and passes everything through their web interface. so it can work in any editor where you highlight your code and run a script to pass it along.

Does it still work?

@vinitcool76 no idea, I don't think it will because of their recent API changes.
