WindowSwap is a unique website that allows you to look through the windows of people living all around the world. The idea is simple yet deeply moving: with a single click you are transported to a completely different place – it might be Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Paris, a small town in Finland, or a countryside home in India.

It is powered entirely by solar energy – hosted on a computer connected to PV panels – and its availability depends on weather conditions and battery charge. Visiting the site means literally browsing the internet powered by renewable energy. The creators embraced minimalism and efficiency. The site is free from ads, trackers, and unnecessary scripts. Instead of heavy images, it uses dithering-compressed graphics, while the color palette is deliberately limited. The result is a remarkably lightweight website that loads quickly even on low-end devices, while maintaining a distinctive visual identity. ...
