Distbin renders input text as markdown.

You can use that to make code blocks by surrounding with triple backticks

Yes, thank you, but isn't it too "complicated"? One could get tired typing all those things very often, especially if using distbin exclusively for sharing code. I'd suggest adding buttons, like on github, there are buttons for: bold, italic, code, quotes, links...
