YAAAAAY! 100K!
We have done it! Our first big milestone!
Our first big, tangible proof of awesomeness!
Our community just crossed 100k signups on window-swap.com.
And all In just over 3 months.
Also, we achieved this milestone with zero marketing spend.
Meaning, we have no one else to thank but you.
But our thanks to you doesn’t stop with that. We’ve successfully built and released a bunch of updates all thanks to the thousands of coffees you’ve bought us.
Judah’s window - Grytting, Norway
The latest updates include
Number of Views
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.)
A brand new ‘Submission’ form
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.
Sign in with Email
You can now, finally, sign in with an email of your choice, and not just FB or Google. We got a LOT of user requests for this one. (hey, @ViralTrafficGuy👋!)
We know some of these are super basic web functions - unremarkable for most behemoth websites. But we aren’t a massive company and certainly don’t want to be one. And that means we will never have the resources to build super quickly. But that’s just who we are. So, thank you for your patience and understanding.
Our Plans for the next update include
1. The Tip Function:
Say thanks to the creator of your favourite window video, who helped calmed your anxiety or just escape from reality- by sending the creator a small tip! (These transactions will be 100% safe and run by Stripe).
2. Window-Swap All-Access
You will be able to get access to all videos ever uploaded to window-swap.com for a tiny little fee that will help us stay afloat. Plus, unlimited bookmarks!
Of course, we have plans for more exciting updates.
We will let you know right here on this page, as and when we get down to it.
Your love and support for our labor of love (that’s still run by just two people - Sonali and I. And one dev team - Techpearl), was the only reason why we’ve come this far. So, thank you. Thank you very, very, very much. <3
Please take care, stay safe, and all the best!
Warm regards,
Sonali and Vai
