Pasterboy - The ultimate X.com text formatter for Chrome

Paste bold and italic into X.com. Real native formatting. Not unicode hacks.

Write in Markdown, Google Docs, or Notion. Paste into X.com with real native formatting — not fake unicode like 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠, 🅣🅗🅘🅢, or ᴛʜɪꜱ that breaks search, accessibility, and looks spammy.

The Problem

You write a beautiful post in Notion or Google Docs with bold and italic formatting. You paste it into X.com and... it's all plain text. Formatting gone. Or worse — you use one of those unicode converter tools and your post looks like 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠, 🅣🅗🅘🅢, or ᴛʜɪꜱ.

This looks spammy. Unicode "bold" isn't real bold. It:

❌ Breaks search (people can't find your posts)
❌ Breaks screen readers (accessibility nightmare)
❌ Looks unprofessional and spammy
❌ Gets flagged by algorithms

The Solution

Pasterboy uses X.com's actual native formatting — the same bold and italic you get when you press Ctrl+B or Ctrl+I in the composer.

Your posts look clean, professional, and searchable.

How It Works

1. Write with formatting — Use Markdown (**bold**, *italic*), or just format text in Google Docs, Notion, or Word
2. Paste into Pasterboy — Open the Chrome extension and paste your text
3. Click Insert — Pasterboy types your formatted text directly into X.com

That's it. Three steps. Real formatting.

Features

✅ Real formatting, not unicode fakes: Uses X.com's actual bold/italic through native keyboard shortcuts. Your posts look exactly like they should.

✅ Works with any source: Markdown (**bold**, *italic*, ***both***), Google Docs, Notion, Microsoft Word, or any other rich text editor

✅ Auto thread splitting: Writing something long? Pasterboy automatically splits your content into a thread at natural break points — sentences, paragraphs, or bullet points.

FAQ

• How is this different from unicode formatting tools?
  Unicode tools use mathematical symbols that look like bold text but aren't real text. They break search, screen readers, and look spammy. Pasterboy uses X.com's actual native formatting — the same as pressing Ctrl+B in the composer.
• Is my content safe?
  Yes. Pasterboy runs 100% locally in your browser. There are no servers, no analytics, no data collection. We never see your posts.
• What happens after 20 free posts?
  Your free posts reset on the 1st of each month. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited posts, or just wait for the reset.
• Why does Chrome show a debugger warning?
  Pasterboy uses Chrome's debugger API to simulate real keystrokes — that's how we make X.com recognize native formatting. The permission is only used when you click "Insert."
• Can I get a refund?
  Yes. If Pro isn't for you, contact me within 14 days for a full refund.
