This is genius - once you start clicking through, it's going to be very hard to stop

That is pretty cool; thanks for sharing. Makes me want to get a little web cam and point it out my window.

that is cool.. alhtough I was expecting video for some reason?

Should we start our own? view out our french doors... dusk outdoor dining/living room... watch TV near every night

I just saw that in the submission... they want a 10 minute video...but none of the "windows" I saw were video... just static photos...

OK tried Safari... now it works. FF doesnt. But FF has an oval icon button to hit "next swap", Safari just a plain arrow. Wierd.

Yeah that's strange; I don't really use Firefox so can't test it out on my end

Glad you got it working - it really is a great idea

The 10 minutes seems 3x too long, but yea. The only 10 minute one I might consider watching was the sunset in SF... something actually happens... the rest... one -2 mintues in... im done.

Saw only a few frames of video on iOS (Safari). I figured by now HTML5 video would be more of a thing, as in, it should “just work.”

But I can see how a video needs time to load and play?

Neat idea.

Not sure what the issue is on your Safari - working well on Safari on Catalina for me
