Pano, a bookmarking tool built around shareable shelves

i built pano because i kept losing the things i actually wanted to come back to. pano is an internet archiving tool that lets you save links into shelves that you can organize and share. the problem for me was never finding things. it was keeping them. research papers, recipes, old blog posts, repos, tutorials, and random sites i found late at night would end up scattered across tabs, bookmarks, screenshots, saved posts, and pdfs. a few weeks later, they were effectively gone. what i wanted was one place where saved links stayed organized, easy to navigate, and easy to share as a collection. a lot of the work went into two things: metadata extraction and interface design. saved links are much less useful if they decay into unlabeled bookmarks, so pano tries to pull structured info like title, description, author, date, and type, with native handling for sites like youtube, github, reddit, substack, spotify, and others. i also spent a lot of time on the design, because i wanted saved links to feel browsable and worth returning to; more like a shelf than a utilitarian list of urls. there’s also a chrome extension for one-click saving and a bulk import path for existing bookmarks. i’m especially interested in whether the “shelf” model feels better than traditional bookmarks, and where the save / organize / share flow still feels clunky. it’s free right now: panoit.com
