Ask HN: Advice on my side-project, helping you share links more efficiently.

Usually, when you find something on HN or somewhere else that you want to share with a few friends, you tweet about it or put it on Facebook. This is a scattergun approach and it's not very likely to get the thing noticed by the few friends you know might enjoy it.

To this end, I've built YourPane (www.yourpane.com). Basically, you install a bookmarklet, add a few friends' emails and it pops up an overlay with those friends whenever you click the bookmarket. This way, you can just send the current page to specific people with a few clicks.

If your friends have an account there, they can see the link you sent embedded in their account. If not, they get an email with the link inside.

It appears that most people who have used it have a bit of trouble installing it or getting it to work correctly (a few have asked me to add functionality that's already there, which tells me that I haven't made it easy for them to notice it).

I would appreciate it if you could look it over a bit and let me know if there are things I could improve. Also, if you're hesitant to enter your email address on sites this will not be very useful to you (as it works over email), but I promise you that any emails entered aren't ever leaving the app or misused.

Thanks for your feedback, HN!
