At a window seat, learn about what you are flying over
I always wonder what I am flying over on a plane, and beforehand, which side of the plane should I book for the best views.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I always wonder what I am flying over on a plane, and beforehand, which side of the plane should I book for the best views. Lookoutwindow.com shows snippets about Points of Interest below, and each has a Wikipedia link that you can read more about. You can save them as favourites also, to read once you land. Currently, covers all routes from Ireland, due to the cost of API access for flight data. Works offline once the route is selected. If you have an RTL-SDR receiver, in time, it will track your live location from the plane's transponder (since GPS can be unavailable inside a plane). Been thinking of reaching out to Inflight Entertainment system providers/airlines with this tool. Or making it into a paid app, access per route or unlimited routes per month. Would this meet your threshold of something you would pay for? Any feedback/thoughts on the concept, I would love to hear.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
