Fun concept, it kinda makes you feel like a guest in somebody's house and it's sort of humbling to see all these things going on in the same time in the world while you go on with your own day.

👋 Hey ProductHunt, Sonali and Vaishnav here, co-founders of ProductHunt. Since we put out the first, ultra-simple version of WindowSwap - it viral around the world, with tens of thousands of window submissions from over 120 countries, a passionate community of 400k-500k visitors every month and 50k followers on Instagram. In the past few months we’ve been working closely with the WindowSwap community to build out some amazing features while still retaining the minimalist essence of the site intact. 🎉 And since the launch of Window V2, less than 3 months ago, we've already at 100k signups! Here's what's new - You can now create a profile on WindowSwap - Bookmark your favourite windows - A brand new ‘Submission’ page: We have made it super easy for you to submit your videos. No more janky google forms. We’ve also given you the option to tag what’s in your video. You will also be alerted via email as your window progressed through the queue and approval process. - Track the views on your window. You can now see the number of people who have gazed out of your window. You’ll see this on the ‘Your Windows’ page. (These stats are private to you - we still don’t want to turn this into a window competition.) - Map the location of each window WindowSwap has grown from being a Pandemic Passion Project to place people return to for travel inspiration and calm. Thank you everyone. We hope you like and support this indie project :)

@sonaliranjit This is amazing and a wonderful idea! I'd love to see an Android TV app which acts like a screen saver - giving us the possibility to look out of open windows from the TV when it is idle.

Congrats on the launch! Looks pretty cool, how does it work exactly? How do you screen share your window?

This is truly beautiful! It catches the very changing nature of reality itself and helps you explore it from multiple new perspectives. Love it ❤️

So simple. Very nice. Would like to see comments from the sharers. Maybe the same view at different times of day/season.

Would be cool to make it like a desktop app
Joel Hansen

Sounds interesting

What a fun and refreshing concept! Definitely makes you feel connected to the world especially in a pandemic where most people don't have the luxury to travel around. Would love to download this!

Truly beautiful! For me nature always helps me gain new perspective especially while working and keeps my nerves calm. Great concept, would love to try it.

Was already such a huge fan of 1.0! At one point I had a daily routine to put WindowSwap on my monitor while I wrote. Also love the video! Such a beautiful collaborative project. Really captures the resilient spirit during the pandemic. Thanks for creating this!

Innovative concept, I liked it. It's like being teleported magically from one place to another instantly. Could you also add comments section for each window - to leave thoughts, remarks, ask questions?
