Description

Give a page you can paste in text and get back HLint suggestions. Either just link to an existing paste site that does it, or write my own on top of the HLint API.

Research direction
First, examine the HLint API to understand how to invoke suggestions programmatically. Then, decide on a simple web stack (e.g., a static site with JavaScript) to create a page where users can paste Haskell code and receive HLint output. Consider linking to an existing pastebin service that supports HLint, or building a small web app using the HLint library directly.
