Show HN: PanoPanda – service for sharing panoramas

At a glance, it doesn't seem like they're doing anything panorama-specific. The input must already be a "high resolution image" (presumably stitched) and the output is simply a map tile viewer, with the input image sliced up into squares at different zoom levels. Their lack of panorama support shouldn't be a huge issue in the majority of cases, as long as the images are cropped vertically. If you want to capture and share panoramas, there are pretty good options like Occipital's 360.io or Google's Google+-only Photo Sphere. Not sure if there are any great options for sharing high-resolution panoramas, but maybe PanoPanda could grow into that?

Hah, reusing Leaflet is a smart move !

I have 3 remarks:

- I'd like to be able to download the panoramas. They look like a particularly good fit for wallpapers

- If I can't download them, I'd like to see and explore them in fullscreen

- The "back" button doesn't work if you opened a direct link to a panorama

Nice work anyway !

Read that as PedoPanda, because Pedo Bear[1] has scared my subconscious. Might not be an issue with the general population.

I thought the point of viewing panoramas was that it was seamless at the edges? I.e. it wraps around. PanoPanda does not do this, and it seems like it's just a simple app to "view image at different zoom levels + panning".

Nice work. How well does it work on mobile?
