An independent collection of browser spaces
Lavmio is a small, independently maintained website. It holds two kinds of pages: browser tools that do one job each, and guide collections that point to official records for science, cultural archives and classic books.
What is here
The site is organised into eighty spaces. Fifty of them are browser tools: a CSV cleaner, a batch image resizer, a subtitle re-timer, a campaign link builder, an accessibility contrast checker, a round-robin fixture planner, and similar single-purpose utilities. The remaining thirty are guide collections, split across three groups — eight for science observation, eleven for cultural collections, and eleven for classic reading.
Every tool runs in the browser. Working files, pasted text and settings stay on your device; nothing is uploaded to a Lavmio server, and no account is required to use anything on the site. Each tool states the formats it accepts and the limits it enforces, because a utility that hides its boundaries is not useful for real work.
Who maintains it
Lavmio is maintained by an independent publisher. It is not a news organisation, it has no newsroom, and it has no editorial partnership with any institution. It is also not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NASA, the Library of Congress, Project Gutenberg, or any other source it links to. Those organisations publish their own material under their own terms, and Lavmio simply points at it.
The site is written and built by a very small team. That is the reason the number of spaces is fixed and grows slowly: adding a page that we cannot explain properly would make the collection worse, not better.
How the guides work
A guide collection is deliberately narrow. Each one takes a single subject — dust storms on Mars, the design of reading rooms, the illustrations in a children's book — and does three things: it states a question worth holding while you look, it explains what to check on the original record, and it links out to the official source instead of reproducing it.
We do not copy articles, photographs, scans, book files or PDFs onto this site. Where a record has a caption, a date, a credit line or a rights statement, the original page carries it and we send you there. Science records come from the NASA Image and Video Library, cultural records from Library of Congress collections and blog posts, and reading guides link to Project Gutenberg editions. If a subject has no recent official record, the guide keeps its permanent collection entry rather than filling the gap with something invented.
A guide is an entry point, not a substitute for the source. One photograph is a moment, not a survey; one catalogue record is not the whole object. We try to say so on every page rather than implying more authority than we have.
Funding and independence
Lavmio does not currently display advertising, does not sell placement in any collection, and does not accept payment in exchange for a link, a review or a place in the directory. If that changes, this page and the privacy policy will be updated before any advertising appears, not afterwards, and the change will be described in plain language rather than buried.
Optional analytics are the only measurement on the site. They load only after you allow them, and they record visits and tool actions — not the contents of your files, your text, or which guide you read. See the privacy policy for the details and for how to withdraw consent.
Corrections
Errors are treated as defects. If a link points to a record that has moved, if a date is wrong, if a description overstates what a source shows, or if a tool produces a result that contradicts its own stated limits, we want to know. Tell us which page, what you expected and what you got; a screenshot or the exact record title helps more than a general report.
Corrections to a guide are made on the page itself. Where a source has been withdrawn or a record has disappeared, the honest fix is usually to remove the link and say so, not to silently swap in a different item.
Contact
There is one contact channel: the feedback form. It is hosted by Tally, it opens in a separate window, and your email address is optional — but leaving one is the only way a reply can reach you.
