Panopt solves a problem most

Panopt solves a problem most accessibility tools ignore: writing good alt text is tedious, so most images on the web still don't have it. I designed and built a Chrome extension that lets anyone right-click an image and generate a high-quality, contextual alt text description in seconds.

I handled the full build solo, product design, frontend, backend, API integration, and the pay-as-you-go credit system (no subscription required, since accessibility tooling shouldn't lock people into recurring billing). Since launch, it's picked up organic installs across more than a dozen countries with zero paid promotion.
