WindowSwap: View someone's window somewhere in the world

&gt; We need all the window views we can get. So, please send yours to qunaliaa@gmail.com. A 10-minute, horizontal HD video of your window and frame, with your name and location for credits. Horizontal, vertical, square, round or decorative, all kinds of windows are welcome!<p>Oh, I guess it makes sense now that I think about it, but I really thought the views were live at first. Watching what I thought were live feeds felt super cool. :(

Not normally interested in novelty sites like this but I think it&#x27;s absolutely wonderful. I live in a leafy Seattle suburb and am constantly smug about how lovely it is here. Most of these were at least as pretty.

I&#x27;ve been streaming the birdfeeder on my balcony on youtube. mostly for fun and my mom. It makes a new stream every morning at 6am PST8PDT time, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UC0hyjYFftwe8vKnpERMS8ug" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UC0hyjYFftwe8vKnpERMS8ug</a><p>The finches that visit mostly come around in the morning and before noon, with some around in the afternoon.

can you add a button to get a link to some of these so you can go back to them?<p>for instance this is a nice sunset going on at the moment<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;player.vimeo.com&#x2F;video&#x2F;431141355?autoplay=1&amp;title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;background=1&amp;muted=0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;player.vimeo.com&#x2F;video&#x2F;431141355?autoplay=1&amp;title=0&amp;...</a><p>but had to go extract it out of the code

Beautiful project. I once had an idea to do some similar but with real time live camera feeds. And some sort of subscription&#x2F;marketplace where people with amazing views would get paid to share their amazing views, and other folks would subscribe to that realtime 24&#x2F;7 feed.

There another site that adds live radio to canned video<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;driveandlisten.herokuapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;driveandlisten.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a><p>Was here on HN a couple weeks back

This is so relaxing to watch. I think the lack of a &#x27;bookmark&#x27; function actually makes me linger on certain windows longer; I know that if I hit &#x27;next&#x27; I probably won&#x27;t be able to come back to that window.

awesome work! we&#x27;re gonna submit one tomorrow!<p>it would be cool if you tagged the videos by time of day and showed daytime&#x2F;nighttime ones based on the client&#x27;s local time (or preference)

I think that will work best if you display all the windows on a map and let the user select the location.

Love this. Best internet idea in a long time. The pre-recorded video is key.<p>I am recording one right now!

Found someone who was playing Beatles in the background, half a world away, overnight in Dubai... (I know it&#x27;s not live but it was still dark). Nice to have the sounds&#x2F;ambiance as well as the video...

Not being familiar with London, this is probably a popular spot, but just watched The Old Guard on Netflix last night and noticed James Sandham&#x27;s window and 1:48:12 in the movie are the same.

I would enjoy a &quot;slideshow&quot; or auto-advanced feature that automatically moves to the next window when the video finishes or after some fixed period of time.

Not working on Safari.

Nice! Too bad I didn&#x27;t find a way to save&#x2F;share a good one (some mountain landscape, etc.); maybe that&#x27;s not the point?

All I get are static images in mobile devices. No video. :(
